Chicago Gets 7-5 Win
Chicago third baseman Alan Oxenrider helped his team beat the Pittsburgh Pirates, 7-5. Oxenrider went 3 for 4 for the Cubs. Eric Oakes earned his 5th save in 9 chances. Chicago has now won 6 straight.

Chicago used the bat of David Casas to capture the win. The designated hitter jacked a 3-run home run in the top of the fifth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a dandy.

"This team is headed in the right direction," said Oxenrider.
