Cubs Beat Giants, 5-2
Oscar Judd propelled his team to victory over the New York Giants. The final score was 5-2, Chicago. Judd picked up the win for Chicago, going 8.2 innings. He gave up 2 runs on 8 hits. He now sports a record of 2-1. Red Adams collected his 2nd save.

Chicago used a well-timed hit by Buddy Blattner to capture the win. The second baseman socked a 2-run double in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 2-1. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Oscar gave us everything he had," said Chicago manager Charlie Grimm.

With their winning streak at 4, the Cubs have raced to a strong start this season.
