Starting pitcher Carlos Cruz did his part in helping the Chicago (Rk+) Cubs thwart the Washington (Rk+) Nationals, 7-0. The winning pitcher was Cruz, now 7-1. He tossed 5.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 10. The setback makes Washington (Rk+) 21-45.

Chicago (Rk+) won the game in part because of Al de Santiago. The designated hitter ripped a 2-run home run in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-0. For the game, de Santiago had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats.

"Carlos was able to execute his pitches," said Chicago (Rk+) manager Josh Simms. "Simple as that."
