Phillies Fall Short, 4-3, at Chicago
The Chicago Cubs knocked off the Philadelphia Phillies, 4-3, in National League action at Wrigley Field. Chicago pitcher and Norman, Oklahoma, native Cade Horton had an outstanding performance. Luke Little closed the game out for Chicago, earning his 26th save. Chicago goes to 50-38. The win puts them 2½ games up in their division.

Had Owen Caissie not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Caissie hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Cubs.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Caissie.
