Chicago Pins 6-1 Loss on Blue Jays
Starting pitcher Alfredo Cortez fulfilled his part of the bargain, helping the Chicago Cubs stymie the Toronto Blue Jays, 6-1. Cortez picked up the win for Chicago, going 8 innings. He gave up no runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 7-10. The losing streak for Toronto has now reached 5 games.

Chicago won the game in part because of Jake Sanders. The designated hitter ripped a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-0. For the game, Sanders had 1 double and 1 home run in 4 at-bats.

"I warned the team before the game," losing manager Dan Silva told reporters, "that I'm wearing the same pair of undies until we win."
