Upton Excels, But Cubs Win
The Houston Astros got a sterling performance from designated hitter Justin Upton, but the Chicago Cubs still prevailed, 7-5. Upton hit 2 home runs. The winning pitcher was 29-year old right-handed pitcher Henderson Alvarez III. He tossed 92 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 4 runs on 8 hits. Chicago has now reeled off 6 straight wins.

Chicago used the timely hitting of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to seize the win. The designated hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Cubs on top, 6-4. It was his only hit in 5 at-bats, but it was a game-changer.

"I feel like we're rolling now," Guerrero Jr. told the Chicago Gazette."The dugout is coming alive."
