Williams, Sharapova roll into Italian Open quarterfinals
CHICAGO, May 8 (UPI) -- Dan Uggla delivered a go-ahead, two-run single in the eighth inning Tuesday and the Atlanta Braves held on to beat the Chicago Cubs 3-1.
Michael Bourn singled and Martin Prado walked to lead off the eighth against Kerry Wood (0-2), and each advanced on Freddie Freeman's groundout. After Brian McCann drew a walk to load the bases, Uggla grounded a 1-1 pitch to the left of second base, chasing home the two decisive runs.
Kris Medlen (1-0) pitched a scoreless seventh inning to earn the victory, and Craig Kimbrel collected his National League-leading 10th save as the Braves evened their three-game set with the Cubs.
Chicago starter Ryan Dempster held Atlanta to one run on six hits over seven frames but finished with a no-decision.
