Cincinnati (80-76) won its fifth straight and pulled into tie with the New York Mets for the National League's third and final wild-card spot. Andrew Abbott threw 4 2/3 innings, allowing five hits, while striking out two and walking one. Jameson Taillon (10-7) pitched seven quality innings for the Cubs, allowing a run on five hits while striking out four and walking none. After Matt McLain's one-out double in the third, Lux drove in the game's only run with a two-out double to right. The Cubs, who lead the NL wild-card race, will play their last six regular-season games at home against the Mets and St. Louis Cardinals.
