Braves Suffer 5-3 Setback
The Chicago Cubs faced a tough opponent in Atlanta pitcher Nolan Stefanski, but did just enough to pull out the victory at Turner Field by a final score of 5-3. Stefanski went 6.1 innings and allowed no runs. Chris Ray snagged the win in relief. In 2 innings, the right-hander allowed 1 run on 2 hits. He's now 6-3 on the season. The National League Central Division-leading Cubs are 87-70.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Alan Oxenrider to capture the win. The designated hitter socked a grand slam home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-3. It was his only hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a big one.

"We're in the driver's seat," said Oxenrider. "I like our chances."
