Cubs Come Up Short at Boston
Fenway Park was the site of an exciting ballgame between the Boston Red Sox and the Chicago Cubs.

The Boston Red Sox topped the Chicago Cubs by the score of 7-6, with the largest share of the credit going to first baseman Dave Hansen. Hansen went 3-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 3 times for the Red Sox. The first-place Red Sox have a one-game lead in their division.

Johnny Rizzo went 2 for 5 with 2 singles for Boston. The four-time All-Star had a key at-bat in the bottom of the sixth. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 6-6 tie with a run-scoring ground out off Sergio Escalona. It was his 24th RBI of the season.

"We had the game right there for the taking," said Chicago manager Matt Ida. "But we decided not to take it."
