Melton, South Bend Prevail in Pitchers' Duel
Troy Melton pitched a gem to lead South Bend to victory over the West Michigan Whitecaps, 2-0. Andry Lara got credit for the save for South Bend. It was his 4th of the year. The win leaves South Bend with a record of 7-7.

Melton, who leaned on his curveball, allowed no runs on just 3 hits over 6.2 innings for the Cubs. For the most part, West Michigan hitters were simply overmatched.

Melton called the win "a collective effort."
