Josh Kalman left his imprint on the 9-5 Chicago win against the Detroit Tigers. Kalman, who finished 2nd in the NL in hits with 185 in 2046, went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The winning pitcher was Nicolai Volnov. He's now 5-4. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 6 hits for the Cubs. Mike Alexander finished the game for Chicago and earned his 3rd save.

Early in the game, shortstop Xavier Davis had a 2-run home run for Chicago. It was his 9th home run of the season and put the Cubs on top, 2-1.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Kalman told the Chicago Gazette. "It's as simple as that."

Chicago now has a record of 77-73 with the win.
