The Chicago winning streak has reached 4 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for John Sledd? The Chicago third baseman had a run-scoring single in the top of the seventh inning to put the Traders on top, 4-3. For the game, Sledd had 1 double and 2 singles in 4 at-bats.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Madsen told the Chicago Gazette.
