TEAM RISP- Cubs: 6 for 18  Nationals: 0 for 4

The Washington Nationals pitching staff was overwhelmed by the Chicago-NL Cubs
lineup who plated 14 runs while Joe Dobson(3-1), with relief help from Sal
Maglie, surrendered 2 runs to Washington.

Chicago-NL took the lead for keeps in the top of the 4th inning when they
scored 5 runs on 3 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Eddie Mathews
who deflated the spirits of the home town crowd when he belted a three-run
homer.  For the game Chicago-NL out-hit Washington 17 to 7.  

Warren Spahn(5-2) took the loss.  He was knocked around by Chicago-NL,
allowing 10 hits and 5 walks in 5 and 2/3 innings.  Chicago-NL now has a
record of a league leading 43-20.  Still in a bad slump, with this loss,
Washington is 2-8 lately and 27-24 on the year.
