With 5-0 Win, Cubs Improve to 31-15
The Chicago Cubs got a rain-soaked win over the Houston Astros.

Michael Soroka, who is tied for 3rd in the NL in innings pitched with 66.0, imposed his will on the Astros from the get-go. Relying mainly on his fastball, the right-hander spearheaded the 5-0 Chicago triumph. Chicago, at 31-15, is 5 games up in the NL Central Division.

Dayan Viciedo had a big 3-run home run for the Cubs in the bottom of the third inning. With Chicago leading 2-0 and runners on 1st and 2nd, he sized up a sinker from Jesse Hahn, the 14th overall pick in the 2013 draft, and punished it. The result was his 7th home run of the season, which put the Cubs on top, 5-0.

"We're stringing together some nice wins," said Chicago manager Irish Turner.
