The Chicago Cubs earned a win at Wrigley Field, knocking off the San Francisco Giants, 4-2. On the bump for Chicago was right-hander Carlos Zambrano. He had a starring role in the triumph. The Cubs now have a record of 79-68 with the win over San Francisco.

Alex Cora was 1-2 with a hit by pitch for Chicago. The 29-year old shortstop had a key at-bat in the bottom of the fifth. With one out and a runner on 2nd, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring single off Jon Lieber. It was his 117th hit of the season.

Chicago manager Adam Creed commended his team for "doing what it takes to win."
