Matt Strahm worked a hitless eighth inning and Lucas Erceg earned his fourth save. Davis Martin (2-1) was the hard-luck loser for Chicago. The 29-year-old righty allowed two runs on seven hits in seven innings. He didn’t walk a batter and struck out three. Duncan Davitt made his MLB debut in relief in the eighth.
