"I didn't manage very well tonight," said Lee Elia of the Cubs after a 4-3 loss to the Mets in which he ordered Reliever Lee Smith to walk Darryl Strawberry, who was hitting .195, to get at Pinch Hitter Rusty Staub, another lefty, who was hitting .304. Staub won the game by singling in the 10th; it was his sixth hit in his last seven pinch-hit appearances.
