Maybe the 2K15 Chicago Cubs are going to stay the course and go get that NL Wild Card Slot or at least one of them and not back into one. The Cubs as we go to press is getting what you need this time of year talking "162" and that is solid starting pitching and defense with some timely and consistent production at the dish.

Tonight it was Cubs starter Jason Hammel who the Brew Crew's OF and 2K15 All-Star Ryan Braun took deep in the 1st for a solo blast making it 1-0. Hammel would settle down and go 5 2/3 frames allowing six hits and that one run as he struck out four and walked two.

It was the Cubbies methodical approach at the dish as Starlin Castro's RBI single in the 2nd tied the game at 1-1. Chicago then adds to that with a force out in the 4th making it 2-1. Brewers starter Taylor Jungmann , who also went 5 2/3 frames, gave up his 3rd run on the night to Cubs SS Addison Russell making it 3-1 Cubbies.

That led to the Brew Crew going to the pen and in the 7th it was that man again Anthony Rizzo going Souvenir Shop his 19th off Neal Cotts for a score of 4-1 Cubs. That would be the final as the North Siders move to 55-47 while the "Piwowarzy" falls deeper into your Mama's Basement at 44-60!
