Chicago Downed, 7-5, by Red Sox
Behind the hitting of Cole Tucker, the Boston Red Sox stopped the Chicago Cubs, 7-5. Tucker went 1 for 2 with a home run and 2 walks, while scoring 3 times and driving in 2 for the Red Sox. Boston reliever Ed Goodwin was the winner. His record is now 3-2. Orlando Romero took the loss. Boston, at 59-41, is 3 games up in the American League East Division.

Cristián Colón came through with a big-time hit for Boston. The right fielder smacked a 3-run home run in the top of the ninth inning to give his team the lead, 7-4. It was his only hit, but it was clutch.

"We ground out the win," said Tucker. "That's all that matters."
