Washington Defeated By Cubs, 6-2
|
Wrigley Field was the site for National League action featuring the Washington Nationals and Chicago Cubs.
Chicago got a strong outing from Luis Castillo as the Cubs defeated the Washington Nationals, 6-2, at Wrigley Field. The winner was Castillo. He threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball. The loser was Jim Luckey.
Randy Starling went 1-3 with a walk for Chicago. The 33-year old catcher had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With no one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 1-1 tie with a run-scoring single off Jim Luckey. It was his 22nd hit of the season.
"I thought we played a nice game," Starling told the Chicago Daily. "Good pitching, timely hitting, it was all there."
The 4th-place Cubs are 60-73.
