Cubs Steal Six Bases As NL High Mark Shocks Astros
The Chicago Cubs swiped six bases, a National League high this season, in a 9-2 win over the Houston Astros. Joe Pepitone, arriving from New York via waiver for 20,000, had been suspended by Houston and fined for missing practices, with prior AWOL fines from the Yankees. Houston skipper Harry Walker predicted Pepitone would rebound with the Cubs in Cincinnati, while Leo Durocher welcomed the acquisition and praised Pepitone as a top player who will patrol center field.
