Cubs Down Padres, 1-0
Starting pitcher Justin Steele was a major factor in the 1-0 Chicago Cubs triumph over the San Diego Padres. In 6 innings, Steele surrendered 3 hits, while striking out 6 and walking 2. He allowed no runs. Eric Hillock picked up his 20th save of the season.

The Padres had been locked in a 0-0 tie with the Cubs going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 25-year old first baseman Walt Ballash came to the plate. Ballash hit a solo home run on a 2-2 slider from San Diego hurler Brandon Woodruff. It was Ballash's 1st home run of the year.

"We didn't score," said losing manager Jason Grenn. "That was the problem."

The Cubs are now 65-67, while the Padres fall to 58-74.
