The Chicago Cubs picked up a win at Fenway Park, knocking off the Boston Red Sox, 8-4. On the mound for Chicago was left-hander Zane Smith, who played a pivotal role in the win. Frank DiPino, credited with the save, is now 8 for 11 in save opportunities. Boston's current losing streak has reached 5 games.

Luis Gonzalez was 1-5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2 for Chicago. The top prospect had a key at-bat in the top of the second. With two out and a runner on 2nd, he broke a 3-3 tie with a 2-run home run off Roger Salkeld. It was his 23rd home run of the season.

"It was a solid team effort," said Gonzalez after the game.
