Getting offensive support from Dansby Swanson, the Chicago Cubs topped the Texas Rangers, 11-2. Swanson went 3-4 with a home run, a double, and a walk. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Cubs. The win has Chicago at 10-4.

Jorge Mateo drove in one run for Chicago. The 29-year old second baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring sacrifice fly off John Brebbia. It was his 1st RBI of the season.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Swanson.
