Game 29: Chicago Cubs vs. Boston Red Sox
The Red Sox just cannot get a winning streak going, as they drop below .500 after the Chicago Cubs (18-10) topped the Boston Red Sox (14-15) by a 7 to 3 score.
Cubs starter Javier Assad (3-3) pitched a respectable game in which he allowed 3 earned runs on 6 hits and 1 walk while striking out 7 in the 113-pitch complete game victory; Game Score 69. Brayan Bello (3-3) was tagged with the loss after serving up 6 runs (3 earned) on 7 hits, 1 walk, and 1 wild pitch in 5 2/3 innings of play; Game Score 40. Isiah Campbell permitted 1 earned run on 3 hits in 2 innings of work before turning the ball over to Joely Rodriguez who tossed 1 1/3 innings of scoreless ball.
There were several fine hitting performances in today's game, with Ian Happ (3 for 3, Double, Homerun, 2 Runs, 2 RBI, Walk), Peter Crow-Armstrong (2 for 4, Double, Run, 2 RBI), and Nico Hoerner (2 for 5, Double, Run, Stolen Base) leading the Cubs, while Tyler O'Neill (3 for 4, Double, Homerun, Run, 3 RBI) and Ceddanne Rafaela (1 for 3, Double) played well in the loss.
