Wednesday, May 20- The Chicago Cubs jumped all over Philadelphia starter Don Cardwell for seven runs in less than four innings of work, and cruised to a 9-4 victory at Wrigley Field. It was the Cubs' fourth straight win.
The Phillies (14-19) scored twice in the first inning and twice in the ninth inning off Cubs starter Moe Drabowsky (2-3), who tossed his second complete game of the season.
But the Cubs (18-19) were relentless against Cardwell (0-3), whose ERA soared to 8.59 after the onslaught.
Dale Long (4) hit a three-run homer in the first inning and Alvin Dark (1) added a two-run shot in the fourth, knocking Cardwell out after 3.1 turbulent innings. Walt Moryn's two-run double in the second inning accounted for the other two of the seven runs scored against righty Cardwell.
Bobby Thomson hit his first home run of the season, a solo shot, in the seventh inning. Ernie Banks added an RBI double in the eighth.
Carl Sawatski (3) hit a two-run homer for the Phillies in the ninth.
Drabowsky surrendered just six hits. He walked four and struck out four.
