Durieux Leads Cubs to Win
The Chicago Cubs topped the San Francisco Giants by the score of 16-4, with the biggest share of the credit going to second baseman Ezio Durieux. Durieux went 4 for 6 with a home run, a double, and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for the Cubs on the day. Picking up the win was Kyle Hendricks. He went 5.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 5 hits. The right--hander struck out 7 and walked 0. The Cubs, now 13-7, have been playing some good baseball.

Chicago relied on the hitting of Josh Jung to pick up the win. The first baseman clubbed a 2-run single in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs on top, 7-4. For the game, Jung had 1 home run and 3 singles in 5 at-bats.

"I like how we're playing right now," said Jung.
