Cubs Down Diamondbacks, 6-3
Chicago and Arizona duked it out and the Cubs came out victorious.

Chicago starter Unkei Wakamatsu pitched well against the Arizona Diamondbacks at Chase Field. The left-hander led his team to a win, 6-3. Wakamatsu went 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 1, and struck out 9. His record improves to 16-3. George Poirier was credited with the save, his 11th in 15 tries.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Jason Ostrom, the 23-year old center fielder . Ostrom contributed a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put Chicago up, 3-0.

"We take it day by day here," said Ostrom, "and today was a good one for us."

Chicago is now 76-53, 7 games up in the National League Central Division.
