It took a while for both offenses to get started -- Carlos Quentin's fifth inning solo shot provided the first run of the game. But the Cubs responded with two runs in the bottom half of the fifth and scored one run in each of the next three innings.
Chicago's bullpen was once again solid; James Russell earned the save.
