Chicago starter Larry Jackson had a strong outing against the Philadelphia Phillies at Connie Mack Stadium. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 6-2 win. Jackson went the distance for Chicago. He gave up 2 runs on 6 hits. The loss drops the Phillies to 4-6.

Early in the game, Jackson had a 2-run double for Chicago. It was his 2nd double of the season and put the Cubs on top, 2-0.

"I liked his command," said Chicago manager Bob Kennedy. "Larry was throwing strikes."

The Phillies indured another poor start from Robin Roberts, who gave up third inning RBI doubles to catcher Bertell and Jackson. Fellow veteran Bobby Shantz was equally ineffective, giving up another double to Jackson. Shantz was charged with three earned runs in one inning.

Rookie Phil Ortega came on for early mop-up duty, and proceeded to subdue the Baby Bears on one hit and two walks and no runs in five innings. After the game, Phils' Manager Jack O'Lantern confirmed that Ortega would take Roberts' place in the rotation. "He earned it today. And Roberts has earned a trip to the bullpen, until he figures ths out. I can't keep running him out there like this."
