Cubs Score Late to Upend Tigers, 6-5
The Chicago Cubs topped the Detroit Tigers by the score of 6-5, with the largest share of the credit going to left fielder Justin Upton. Upton was 1-4 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 runs and drove in 3 for the Cubs. Roberto Osuna converted his 21st save in 21 tries. With the win, the Cubs improved to 68-58.

Had Kyle Lewis not delivered a key base hit in the top of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Lewis hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cubs.

Lewis told a Chicago Bulletin reporter that he was "satisfied" with the win.
