Cubs Earn Late 2-1 Win
In a tight tilt between Chicago and Kansas City, pitcher Sean Price was a key contributor. The right-hander earned accolades for his standout performance in the 2-1 Cubs win. Price, now 9-8, was the winner. In 9 innings, he gave up 5 hits, while striking out 6, walking 2, and allowing 1 run. The win gives Chicago a season record of 74-45.

Jimmy Esposito was the walk-off hero for Chicago. With the game tied in the bottom of the ninth inning, the Cubs third baseman hit a dramatic run-scoring single to send the teams home.

"This place was rocking at the end," Esposito said.
