65

The Cubs took the series against the AL's best Texas Rangers with a score of 3 to 1. Jason Hammel came out on top of a pitchers duel where Darvish of the Rangers struck out 9 and Hammel struck out 7. After six innings, the bullpen kept up the good work allowing no hits, striking out 2, and only allowing one walk.

The Cubs' biggest issue for the past month has been pitching, so the past two days are a very good sign for Chicago as they drive towards October.

Look for brooms tomorrow as the Cubs look to sweep the Rangers before welcoming the Mets back to Chicago.
