Betts Excels, Pittsburgh Blows Out Chicago
The Pittsburgh Pirates used an offensive barrage to beat the Chicago Cubs, 13-1, at Three Rivers Stadium. Todd Betts, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1992 draft, led the way, going 3-for-4 for Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is now 44-50.

The Pirates got a big hit from pinch hitter Kevin Young. Facing Chicago pitcher Larry Casian in the bottom of the eighth, Young pounded a grand slam home run to right-center. His 5th home run of the season put the Pirates ahead, 13-1.

"Bad day," Chicago manager Jeff Drummond said. "New day tomorrow."
