The Atlanta Braves weathered an outstanding game by Chicago left fielder Ian Happ to topple the Cubs, 9-5. Happ went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Jared Shuster, now 7-1, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 1 hit in 3 innings. The winning streak has now reached 5 games for Atlanta.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Atlanta manager JGJ Double Dip #1.
