6-3 Loss Deepens Atlanta Funk
With second baseman Juan Tapia leading the charge, the Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves, 6-3, at Wrigley Field. Tapia, who finished 5th in the NL in stolen bases with 27 in 2047, went 2-3 with 2 doubles and a walk, while adding 3 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was fan favorite Juan Lozada. He tossed 96 pitches over 6 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. The 4th-place Braves have lost 8 straight games.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fourth. That's when Tapia hit a 2-run double off Joe Parker. It propelled the Cubs into the lead, 5-3.

In postgame comments to the Chicago Daily, Tapia said, "If the effort is there, the wins will come."
