Chris Wells, who is tied for 3rd in the FA in triples with 9, helped out the Chicago cause in the top of the sixth inning with a run-scoring ground out. For the game, the catcher drove in one run. He scored 2 runs.

"See ball, hit ball. When I think too much, that's when I get in trouble," Siniscalchi told the Chicago News.
