Cubs Beat Braves

The Cubs badly needed what Keegan Thompson gave them on Friday afternoon. Facing a red-hot Atlanta squad, and with Chicago trying to end a double-digit losing streak, Thompson set a welcomed tone with the strongest start of his career. The Cubs picked up a 1-0 victory at Wrigley Field, ending their 10-game skid and halting the Braves' 14-game winning streak in the process.

The deadlock broke in the eighth, when Jonathan Villar hustled home from third on a sacrifice fly from standout rookie Christopher Morel.
