Kalman Hits 2 home runs in Cubs Win
The Chicago Cubs extended their winning streak.

In the 12-7 Chicago win over Pittsburgh, the impact of Josh Kalman was substantial. Kalman, who is tied for 6th in the NL in home runs with 16, hit 2 home runs, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4. Chris Ray, credited with the win, is now 4-4. He allowed 1 run on 2 hits. Eric Oakes, credited with the save, is now 2 for 3 in save opportunities.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Elijah Campbell, the 26-year old shortstop . Campbell contributed a run-scoring sacrifice fly in the top of the eighth inning to put Chicago up, 8-7.

"We got the victory," said Kalman. "That's all that matters at the end of the day."

Chicago, at 45-17, is 6 games up in the National League Central Division.
