Braves, Ozuna Pin Bad Loss on Cubs
The Atlanta Braves beat the Chicago Cubs, 14-2, at Wrigley Field. The Braves got a fine performance from left fielder Marcell Ozuna, who was 3 for 5 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times and drove in 7. Atlanta starter Spencer Strider was credited with the win after throwing 101 pitches over 6 innings. His record now stands at 3-4. The win lifted the Atlanta record to 25-23.

With Atlanta leading 11-2 in the top of the eighth, Ozuna came up to bat against Chicago pitcher Jeremiah Estrada. Ozuna hit a fastball to right for a bases-clearing double. His 11th double of the season put the Braves on top, 14-2.

Said losing manager Paul Husch: "Give the Braves credit. They took advantage of our mistakes."
