Cubs Winners, 4-2, Over Nationals
Chicago (Rk+) parlayed a decent outing from starter Carlos Baltazar into a solid win over the Washington (Rk+) Nationals. The final score was 4-2. The Cubs now own a record of 23-28.

Jose Mercedes had a big 2-run home run for the Cubs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago (Rk+) trailing 2-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Jesse Kennedy and swatted a home run to right-center. It was his 4th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 3-2.

"I was able to miss barrels for the most part and the guys behind me made plays," said Baltazar.
