Chicago center fielder Michael A. Taylor had a 5-RBI performance, which helped his team grab a 8-5 win over the Washington Nationals. Chicago, now 18-26, holds 4th place in the National League Central Division.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the top of the second, Taylor hit a slider from Corey Kluber for a 3-run home run. It was his 5th home run of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 4-0.

"You know, at the end of the day, it's about who scores the most runs," said Chicago manager Garrett Hansford.
