Cubs Get One-Run Win at Colorado
Chicago (N) catcher Carl Sawatski made his presence felt in the 7-6 Cubs triumph over the Colorado Rockies. Sawatski went 3 for 4 with a home run and a double. He scored 2 times. Kirk Rueter, the winner, goes to 11-7. He allowed 5 runs on 9 hits, with 2 walks and 6 strikeouts over 7 innings. Getting the save was Matt Albers, his 12th.

Had Billy Burns not delivered a key base hit in the top of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 2nd, Burns hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 6-5, in favor of the Cubs.

"I felt good up there," said Sawatski. "I saw the ball well."

At 56-65, Chicago (N) is in 6th place in the National League.
