Chicago Topples Atlanta, 6-4
The 6-4 Chicago win over Atlanta was due largely to Dustin Ackley. The Cubs second baseman went 3-4 with a home run and 2 singles, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Corey Kluber. He tossed 104 pitches over 6.2 innings, allowing 4 runs on 11 hits. Mitchell Boggs was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 3 of 3 save opportunities.

Drew Stubbs had a big 2-run home run for the Cubs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 3-1 and a runner on 1st, he got a fastball from Homer Bailey, who is tied for 5th in the NL with a 9.0 K/9 rate, and swatted a home run to center. It was his 15th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 5-1.

"You can never predict what'll happen," Ackley said. "That's why you play the game."

The 'W' lifts Chicago's record to 44-52.
