Cubs Rebuff Athletics, 5-3
Chicago (Rk+) pitcher Roberto Fernandez did his part in helping his team beat the Oakland (Rk+) Athletics, 5-3. The right-hander kept opposing batters from doing too much damage. Earning his 1st save of the year was Carlos Cruz. The Cubs, at 20-21, inhabit second place in the East.

Bill Buschke had a big 2-run triple for the Cubs in the bottom of the fifth inning. With Chicago (Rk+) leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he got a slider from Jose Gradillas and swatted a triple to left-center. It was his 4th triple of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 4-0.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Fernandez told reporters after the game.
