Hassell III Excels, But Cubs Win
Robert Hassell III had a good game, but he could not keep the Washington Nationals from falling, 9-7, to the Chicago Cubs at Nationals Park. The Washington center fielder was 3 for 5 with 2 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring twice in the loss. The winner was Julian Merryweather in relief. His record improves to 4-3. Floyd Schanowski took the loss. The last-place Nationals have dropped 4 straight games.

Chicago used a clutch hit from Ian Happ to get the win. The left fielder drilled a grand slam home run in the top of the ninth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 9-7. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"We'll kick back tonight and enjoy this win," said Happ.
