The Chicago Cubs gets a solid outing again from starter Kyle Hendricks as he gets the no-decision. The Washington Nationals starter Jordan Zimmerman matched Hendricks as they both give up just a run as it came down to the Cubs young and rising stars and "Bam 34" of Natitude Hardball!

With Hendricks cruising and the Cubbies up 1-0 in the top of the 7th that man for the Nats strikes again. Nats OF Bryce "Bam 34" Harper takes Hendricks to left on what looked to be a routine fly to left. Well 17 mph wings gusting to left field and just like that "Bam 34" had his 17th bomb of the year.

Then in the 8th Nats CF Denard Span takes Cubbies middle man Pedro Strop deep to right center for a 2-1 Nats lead. That lead lasted not even a through the 8th as Cubbies #1 Donut-Runner
Kris Bryant takes Nats RHP Aaron Barrett deep over the scoreboard in left for Bryant's 7th on the season and the game as tied 2-2 heading into the 9th.

The North Siders and shaky Captain Save-A-Game Hector Rondon with two outs get Nats CF Yunel Escobar caught stealing 3rd for the Nats last out in the 9th. That set-up the Cubbies Addison Russell (#2 Cubbies Donut-Runner) for a walk-off double scoring Jonathan Herrera. That winner was all set up by the Nats throwing error trying to turn to on the previous hitter.

Cubbies move to 25-20 as the Nats fall to 27-20...
