Cubs Top Tigers, 3-2
The Detroit Tigers got a sterling performance from pitcher Luis Castillo, but the Chicago Cubs still prevailed, 3-2. Castillo threw 8.0 innings of shutout ball. The win went to David Bednar in relief. His record improves to 2-4. Julian Merryweather took the loss. The Chicago winning streak has reached 4 games.

The decisive blow was delivered by Jorge Mateo in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 32-year old right-handed pitcher Julian Merryweather to win the game for Chicago. The home crowd went nuts.

"It's a thrill to get that kind of win," Mateo said.
