Cubs Improve to 22-14 with 6-2 Win
The Chicago Cubs racked up a win at Turner Field 1997-2016, bumping off the Atlanta Braves, 6-2. Michael Soroka, who started for Chicago, pitched effectively for his team. The triumph puts Chicago at 22-14 for the season.

Jean Segura had a big 2-run home run for the Cubs in the top of the second inning. With Chicago leading 2-1 and a runner on 2nd, he sized up a sinker from Antonio Senzatela, who was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2016 draft, and punished it. The result was his 4th home run of the season, which put the Cubs on top, 4-1.

"It's not about individual awards," Soroka told a Chicago News reporter after the game. "It's about winning championships. That's what we play for."
