Cubs Clip Expos, 4-3
The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Olympic Stadium 1977-2004, knocking off the Montreal Expos, 4-3. Starting pitcher Yordano Ventura played a key role in the triumph. Ventura got the win, improving to 10-10. He allowed 5 hits and walked 3 over 7 innings. Ventura allowed 3 runs. The third-place Cubs sport a record of 87-72.

Had Jose Tabata not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 1st and 3rd, Tabata hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 4-3, in favor of the Cubs.

"I found a nice groove out there," said Ventura.
