Cubs Lose Again, 6-3, to Rockies
The Colorado Rockies finished off the Chicago Cubs, 6-3. Much of the credit belonged to left fielder Luis Gonzalez. Gonzalez was 2-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs for the Rockies. Bob Howry, credited with the win in relief, is now 3-0. He allowed no runs on no hits in 2 innings. Chris R. Young earned his 1st save, after closing out the game.

Colorado used the timely hitting of Placido Polanco to seize the win. The second baseman stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Rockies on top, 4-3. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We're in a marathon, not a sprint," said Polanco. "But I like how we're playing right now."

The triumph makes Colorado 22-7, as the team begins another long trek toward the playoffs in 2003.
