The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Wrigley Field, taking down the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-4. Starting pitcher Unkei Wakamatsu was a big reason why. The winning pitcher was Wakamatsu, now 15-3. He tossed 7.1 innings of 5-hit ball, while walking 0 and fanning 9. George Poirier was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 9 of 13 save opportunities.

Terry Tuckfard, who is on pace for 102 RBI this season, helped out the Chicago cause in the bottom of the seventh inning with a run-scoring walk. For the game, the catcher went 1-3 with a double and a walk.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Wakamatsu.

Chicago leads the National League Central Division by 5½ games.
