Sammy Sosa had 3 base hits and 2 RBI and Terry Mulholland shut down the
Montreal batters on just 3 hits as the Chicago (NL) Cubs topped the Montreal
Expos by a score of 7 to 0 at Wrigley Field.
 
Mulholland(1-0) was simply too much for the Montreal batters.  He surrendered
only 3 hits and 1 walk in 9 innings.  Chicago (NL) finished with 12 hits in
the victory.  
 
Marc Valdes(0-1) was the losing pitcher.  He got hit hard, allowing 9 hits and
5 walks in 5 innings.  'He had his 'A' game today,' Chicago (NL)'s manager
said of Mulholland.  'Very impressive performance.'
