The Chicago Cubs topped the Detroit Tigers by the score of 12-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to left fielder Josh Kalman. Kalman belted 2 home runs, while scoring 3 and driving in 6 for the Cubs on the day. Detroit falls to 17-13.

Chicago took a 7-4 lead on Kalman's 7th home run of the season. The 3-run home run, which he hit off Josh Wollaston in the bottom of the sixth, propelled Chicago to the win.
