Cubs Deal Firebirds 3-2 Loss
In a tight contest between the Chicago Cubs and the Atlanta Firebirds, Matt Harvey was the determining factor. The Chicago right-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. Harvey, the winner, moves to 10-4. He threw 7 innings of 3-hit ball, while fanning 3 and giving up 3 walks. Jim Kemp recorded the save. In save chances, he's now 2 for 3.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ben Collins? The Chicago first baseman had a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Cubs on top, 1-0. For the game, Collins had 1 double and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"We need to keep playing good baseball," Collins told the Chicago Gazette.

The Chicago winning streak has reached 4 games.
