Cubs Grind Out 1-0 Win
In a low-scoring tilt between the Chicago N (AZL) Cubs and the Los Angeles N (AZL) Dodgers, Matt Whitlatch, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2106 draft, was the difference-maker. The Chicago N (AZL) left-hander spearheaded the 1-0 win. Chicago N (AZL) reliever Matt Whitlatch got the win, raising his record to 1-1. David Merchan was tagged with the loss. The Cubs, now 16-10, have won 4 in a row.

Travis O'Connor drove in one run for Chicago N (AZL). The 21-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the second. With no one out and runners on 2nd and 3rd, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring ground out off David Merchan. It was his 14th RBI of the season.

"At the end of the day, it's always about your starting pitcher," said Chicago N (AZL) skipper Ray Behm.
