Drew Helps Cubs Beat Red Sox, 11-6

Chicago reliever Matt Herges picked up the win, upping his record to 2-3. Mat Thompson absorbed the loss. Ryan Madson earned the save for Chicago, his 6th of the year.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Cubs grabbed the lead when Drew hit his 34th home run of the season. The 3-run home run off Mat Thompson made it 9-6, Chicago.

"I just tried to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Drew.

The win puts Chicago at 86-73 this season.
