CHICAGO - Kyle Hendricks took a shutout into the ninth inning and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Detroit Tigers 5-1.
Hendricks allowed eight hits and struck out a season-high eight in eight-plus innings without allowing a walk.
He left after Harold Castro and Miguel Cabrera started the ninth with singles.
Dan Winkler appeared to get Jonathan Schoop to hit into a game-ending double play with runners on the corners, but the call at first was overturned after a review, allowing Detroit to score its only run.
Ian Happ had three hits, including a homer, and was aggressive on the bases as the Cubs won for the second time in six games.
