Chicago Edges Oakland, 6-5
Due in large part to third baseman Wander [UNRATED] Franco, the Chicago Cubs sunk the Oakland Athletics, 6-5. Franco was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. Tyler Glasnow got the win, improving to 12-8. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 5 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 9 and walking 0. The first-place Cubs, at 90-60, lead the National League Central Division by 11½ games.

With Chicago leading 5-2 in the bottom of the sixth, Franco hit a run-scoring single off Oakland hurler Lucas Luetge. It was the 195th hit of the season for Franco and put his team ahead, 6-2.

"The key is not trying to do too much," said Franco.
