Big Day by Kincaid Sparks 11-5 Chicago Win
The 11-5 Chicago win over Oakland was due largely to John Kincaid. The Cubs designated hitter went 3-4 with a home run, 2 singles, and a walk. He scored 4 times and drove in 2. The losses continue to mount for Oakland, which has now dropped 6 in a row.

Jimmy Esposito, who is on pace for 71 RBI this season, contributed to the Chicago win with a run-scoring single in the bottom of the fourth. For the game, the third baseman had 2 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 home run, 1 single, 1 run scored, and 3 runs batted in.

"We'll keep playing hard and let the chips fall where they may," said Chicago manager Vin Calia.
