The Chicago Cubs topped the Houston Astros, 6-5, in NL action at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016. The game was highlighted by the performance of Chicago pitcher Yordano Ventura. Daniel Webb earned save number 2 this season. The victory gives the Cubs a record of 30-22.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Roman Quinn to capture the win. The right fielder socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Getting ahead of the hitters was the key," said Ventura.
