					| Cubs Earn 2-1 Win Against Nationals |  
					| Chicago got an elite performance from starting pitcher Edwin Rivera in taking a 2-1 decision over the Washington Nationals. With the win, Chicago improves its record to 6-8. 
 The Cubs relied on third baseman Zory Larikov for the game-winning hit. And, in the bottom of the tenth, he delivered, hitting a run-scoring  single to seal the deal.
 
 "It's a mindset," said Rivera. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."
