Cubs Earn 7-6 Win Versus Athletics
The Chicago Cubs topped the Oakland Athletics by the score of 7-6, with the biggest share of the credit going to shortstop Dansby Swanson. Swanson went 3-4 with a home run and a triple. He drove in 3 runs and scored once for the Cubs on the day. Brandon Hughes, now 9-5, picked up the win in relief. He allowed 1 run on 1 hit in 2 innings. Adbert Alzolay got the save, his 38th in 40 chances.

Swanson had a game-changing home run in the bottom of the eighth. On a 2-2 slider from J.T. Ginn, he banged a 2-run home run to right, giving the Cubs a 7-5 lead. It was the 20th home run of the year for Swanson.

"Winning never gets dull," said Swanson.

The first-place Cubs, at 84-66, now lead their division by 2 games.
