Leave it to the veteran.

The Chicago Cubs got a great start from 35-year-old left-hander Unkei Wakamatsu, as Chicago won the contest, 4-2, at Nationals Park. Wakamatsu threw 7.1 innings allowing 2 runs in the win, which allowed the Chicago to grab a 1-0 lead in the best-of-5 series.

Efrain Vargas contributed a productive at-bat in the top of the sixth. With a runner on 1st, he hit a double. It was one at-bat that helped Chicago get the win.

"Good pitching, clutch hitting," said Chicago skipper Mergatroid Skittle. "I can't complain."

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Nationals Park in Washington.
