The Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals completed their game despite the rain.

The St. Louis Cardinals wasted an inspired, 5-inning effort from starter Ed Franklin, falling, 2-0, to the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. Orlando Romero recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 28 for 30.

The Cubs got a big at-bat from right fielder Tim Green. For the game, Green was 1-4 with a home run. In the top of the fourth, with the bases empty, he stroked a solo home run. His 4th home run of the season gave Chicago a 1-0 lead.

"Clutch hitting plus clutch pitching usually equals a win," said Green.

Chicago currently is in 4th place in the National League Central Division at 50-58.
