Arizona Loses, 8-7, Despite Bethel Performance
The Chicago Cubs spoiled a good performance by Arizona left fielder Robby Bethel, bumping off Arizona, 8-7, at Wrigley Field. Bethel belted 3 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring three times. Mike Phillips, now 4-3, was credited with the win in 2.1 innings of relief. He allowed 2 runs on 3 hits, while striking out 4 and walking 1. Chicago, at 68-44, sits in first place in the National League Central Division.

The Diamondbacks had been locked in a 5-5 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the fourth inning. That changed quickly when the former first round draft pick Nankai Hudkins came to the plate. Hudkins hit a run-scoring triple on a 1-1 changeup from Arizona hurler Mike Gonzales. It was Hudkins's 8th triple of the year.

"Love the work ethic of this team," Hudkins said after the game.
