Cole Hamels tossed a gem as the Rangers dropped the Cubs 4-1 to prevent the sweep at Wrigley Field. Hamels gave up four hits and one unearned run in eight frames of work to get the win. Robinson Chirinos two RBI and Ian Desmond went long as Texas ended a four-game slide.
John Lackey lasted eight innings but fell to 8-and-6 on the year for the Cubs. Javier Baez doubled in their only run.
