Balderrama Hits 2 home runs in Cubs Win
The Chicago Cubs topped the Arizona Diamondbacks by the score of 9-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to center fielder Jose Balderrama. Balderrama hit 2 home runs, while adding 5 RBI and scoring twice for the Cubs on the day. Chicago pitcher Edwin Rivera got the win. He's now 2-1. Tim Wybenga was tagged with the loss. Chris Perretta was called on to finish, recording his 1st save.

Balderrama contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Chicago in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-2, Balderrama took a fastball from Tim Wybenga and stroked the home run to left. His 3rd home run of the season allowed the Cubs to leap in front, 4-3.

"You can't get too high when things go well, or too low when things go bad. Right now, I'm just happy we got the win," Balderrama told the Chicago Gazette.

The loss puts Arizona at 6-12.
