He threw 6 innings of 4-hit ball. Chicago reliever Nick Burdi was the winner. His record is now 2-2. Cory Gearrin took the loss. Getting the save was Tony Cingrani, his 1st.

The Cubs got a big at-bat from pinch hitter Jose Bautista. For the game, Bautista was 1 for 1 with a home run. He drove in 3 runs and scored once. In the top of the 11th, with runners on 2nd and 3rd, he stroked a 3-run home run. His 1st home run of the season gave Chicago a 6-3 lead.
