Cubs Score Late, Topple Cardinals, 6-4
The Chicago Cubs defeated the St. Louis Cardinals, 6-4. Second Baseman Joe Busby deserved a large share of the credit. Busby went 2 for 4 with a home run and a triple. He scored 2 times and drove in 3 for the Cubs. Jimmy Judkins recorded the save for Chicago, his 20th of the season. The first-place Cubs go to 43-30.

Chicago took a 5-4 lead on Luis Fuentes's 2nd triple of the season. The run-scoring triple, which Fuentes hit in the bottom of the eighth, left St. Louis pitcher Sam Braddock visibly frustrated.

"We came in and got the job done. That's what it's all about in this business," said Busby.
