Cubs Send Oakland Home with 3-1 Loss
Chicago picked up a win at Wrigley Field, bumping off the Oakland Athletics, 3-1. Pitcher Chris McCarthy was a major reason the Cubs emerged victorious. The loss puts Oakland at 2-5.

In the bottom of the 4th, Chicago took the lead on a 2-run single by Quentin Coleman. At the time, the Cubs were trailing 1-0, but Coleman's hit with two outs against Oakland pitcher Ben Eckels put them in front, 2-1.

"I tried to mix it up, keep them off balance," said McCarthy.
