Cubs Capture Close Win
The Chicago Cubs knocked off the Texas Rangers, 6-5, in National League action at Wrigley Field. Chicago pitcher and Lima, Peru, native Jesus Luzardo had an outstanding performance. Andres Munoz, credited with the win in relief, is now 1-0. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 0.1 innings. The loss puts Texas at 5-8.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Chicago right fielder Giancarlo Stanton, facing Edwin Uceta, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Cubs the 6-5 win.

"Our guys are never satisfied," said Chicago manager Bryan H.
