Cubs Drop Contest, 8-4, to Oakland (Rk+)
Led by Jayden Watson, the Oakland (Rk+) Athletics defeated the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs, 8-4. Watson, a native of Hanford, California, was 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 3 runs for the Athletics. The win was credited to Brian Richter in relief. His record improves to 1-1. Marco Gutierrez took the loss. Wade Ray earned the save, his 3rd.

Steve Grass went 1 for 3 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for Oakland (Rk+). The 22-year old center fielder had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 0-0 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Marco Gutierrez. It was his 26th RBI of the season.

"We didn't pitch good, and when you don't pitch good, you lose," said Chicago (Rk+) manager Josh Simms.

The Athletics improved their record to 25-18 with the win over Chicago (Rk+).
