Chicago Beats Montreal, 6-3
Michael Soroka, who is tied for 6th in the NL in quality starts with 11, had a strong outing for the Chicago Cubs against the Montreal Expos at Olympic Stadium 1977-2004. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 6-3 win. In 5.2 innings, Soroka surrendered 6 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 2. He allowed 2 runs. Reyes Moronta recorded his 21st save for Chicago.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for José Abreu? The Chicago first baseman had a 2-run double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs on top, 3-1. For the game, Abreu had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We had some nice at-bats at the right time," said Cubs manager Irish Turner.

With the win, Chicago upped its record to 54-37.
