He threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 2 walks. The winning streak has now reached 4 games for the Cubs.

Chicago grabbed a 2-0 lead in the top of the first when Vinny Castilla hit a 2-run single. For the day, Castilla was 3 for 5 with 2 doubles, while adding 3 RBI.

"We took advantage of our opportunities," Castilla told the Chicago Daily. "It's as simple as that."
