The Orlando Devil Rays picked up a win at Orlando Citrus Bowl, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 3-1. Starting pitcher John Smoltz was an essential part of his team's success. Smoltz, now 5-4, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 9 hits, while striking out 14, walking 0, and allowing 1 earned run. With the victory, the Devil Rays record now stands at 28-23.

The Devil Rays got a lift from designated hitter Ron Gant who had a run-scoring walk in the bottom of the first inning off Mike Hampton. It was his 31st walk of the season and put Orlando in front, 1-0.

Smoltz said the team appreciates the support from the fans. "I'm glad we could reward them with a good win," he said after the game.
