Jimenez Stars in 6-5 Cubs Win
The Chicago Cubs beat the Washington Nationals by a score of 6-5. Chicago first baseman Manuel Jimenez deserved the lion's share of the credit. Jimenez was 4 for 4 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 2 for the Cubs. The win makes Chicago 22-16.

Chicago used the hitting of Tommy Ash to pick up the win. The second baseman clubbed a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs on top, 4-3. For the game, Ash had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Ash.
