Chicago starter Anthony Kay provided a lengthened outing, and Bryce Miller produced 5 2/3 scoreless innings with seven strikeouts earlier in the game. Relievers including Luis Castillo, Tyler Davis, Bryan Hudson and Grant Taylor preserved the final margin, while Andrés Muñoz surrendered the tying and go-ahead hits in the ninth, ending the game in Chicago’s favor.
