Cubs Tack 9-2 Loss on Astros
Eager fans turned out for a matchup between the Chicago Cubs and Houston Astros.

The Chicago Cubs beat the Houston Astros, 9-2, at Minute Maid Park 2000-2016. Jose Tabata, who finished 2nd in the NL in runs with 95 in 2013, starred for Chicago. He was 4 for 5 with 2 doubles and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times. Johnny Cueto, the winner, goes to 6-2. He allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, with 3 walks and 3 strikeouts over 6 innings.

Chicago used a clutch at-bat from Dustin Ackley to capture the win. The right fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Cubs ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

"We took a roundhouse punch to the chin," said losing manager .

With the win, Chicago upped its record to 31-22.
