On Road, Chicago Beats Houston, 6-4
|
The Chicago Cubs topped the Houston Astros, 6-4, in National League action at Minute Maid Park. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chicago pitcher Alfredo Cortez. The Cubs are now 29-24, while the Astros fall to 26-27.
Chicago used the timely hitting of Willie Lopez to seize the win. The right fielder stroked a 2-run single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.
"Alfredo had good stuff. When he did get into a compromising count, he made the most of it," said Chicago manager Vin Calia.
