Chicago Defeated By Athletics, 6-2
The Oakland Athletics picked up a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 6-2. Starting pitcher Nick Lodolo was a big reason why. Lodolo, now 5-5, was the winner. In 7.1 innings, he gave up 4 hits, while striking out 9, walking 0, and allowing 2 runs. The victory gives Oakland a record of 80-73.

Oakland used a clutch at-bat from Pedro Leon to capture the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the sixth inning to put the Athletics ahead, 6-2. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Oakland manager Brad P said his team played a "no nonsense" game.
