Game Fifty-Four – Cubs 5, Diamondbacks 3
WP – Jason Hammel (7-1) LP – Edwin Escobar (0-2) Save – Hector Rondon (10)
Jason Hammel quieted any concerns about his hamstring Saturday. Hammel pitched a very good game and delivered the game-winning hit with the bases loaded and two down in the fourth inning. Hammel allowed two runs on one hit in seven innings and helped his own cause in the fourth inning with a two-run single that gave the Cubs a 4-2 lead.
Dexter Fowler smacked a home run in the first inning.
