Flowers Slugs Cubs to 7-4 Win
Behind a fine performance from Tyler Flowers, the Chicago Cubs knocked off the Los Angeles Dodgers, 7-4.

Nick Burdi earned his 31st save in 33 chances.

Flowers contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Chicago in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-2, Flowers took a fastball from Johnny Cueto and stroked the home run to left. His 4th home run of the season allowed the Cubs to leap in front, 5-3.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Flowers told the Chicago Citizen.

The Cubs saw their record improve to 60-65.
