Philadelphia Phillies starter Bill Singer was in fine form against the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field 1938-1978, leading his team to a win, 5-2. Singer got the win, improving to 14-10. He allowed 9 hits and walked 1 over 8.1 innings. Singer allowed 2 runs. Rafael Rodriguez earned his 10th save in 14 tries.
