The Chicago Cubs had to overcome a big game from Kansas City second baseman Danny Bonilla to leave Wrigley Field with a victory. And they did, winning 8-6. Bonilla was 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while scoring 3 and driving in 2. Chicago goes to 69-50, Kansas City to 54-65.

Nick Love was 1 for 3 with a home run, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once for Chicago. The 25-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the eighth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off Kareem Jackson. It was his 27th RBI of the season.

"Anytime we get it going, it puts a smile on my face," said Love.
