					| Chicago Bats Go Silent in 2-0 Loss |  
					| Starting pitcher Tim Kull was a major factor in the 2-0 Atlanta Braves triumph over the Chicago Cubs. Kull got the win, improving to 3-1. He allowed 5 hits and walked 4 over 7.1 innings. Kull allowed no runs. Sam Schrecengost finished the game for Atlanta and earned his 35th save. 
 The game was on the line with two out in the top of the eighth inning, but Shingo Miura didn't flinch. With runners on 1st and 2nd and Chicago trailing 2-0, Miura retired Francisco Ramirez to end the threat. "Nothing to it," said Miura, with a wink.
 
 Atlanta is now 89-47, 25 games up in the National League East Division.
