The Chicago (Rk+) Cubs defeated the Texas (Rk+) Rangers, 6-3, at Black Diamonds Ballpark. Chicago (Rk+) third baseman Joe Marsden had a superb performance. He went 3 for 4 with a home run, a triple, and a double. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Chicago (Rk+) pitcher Victor Gutierrez earned the win, hiking his record to 2-0. Trent Herman suffered the loss. The Cubs saw their record improve to 9-8.

Alex Avalos had a big 2-run home run for the Cubs in the top of the sixth inning. With Chicago (Rk+) leading 4-2 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a cutter from 19-year old left-handed pitcher Trent Herman and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Cubs on top, 6-2.

Marsden attributed the win to his team's "tenacity."
