Cubs Down Mets, 7-4
In baseball, each game is unique. This one was no different.

The Chicago Cubs saddled the New York Mets with a loss at Wrigley Field. The final score was 7-4. Joe Carter was 3 for 4, including 2 singles and 1 home run. The Chicago left fielder scored 1 run and drove in 2. Bill Gullickson, the winning pitcher, is now 18-5. He went 7 innings, allowing 2 runs on 9 hits, while fanning 6 and walking 1.

In the bottom of the third, Carter had one of his most important at-bats: a run-scoring single off Dane Anthony that staked the Cubs to a 3-2 lead.

"It feels good to get this one," Carter told the Chicago News.

The Cubs raised their record to 82-69.
