A string of late-inning doubles to left giving McCutchen a workout; Cubs extend their lead to 6-3.

Nance gets through his inning unscathed and makes a nice cover of first on a ball that Schwindel can't get to but is grabbed by second baseman Bote, for an unusual 4-1 groundout.

Effross -- let's let him hit when his turn comes up; he got a nice sac fly his last at-bat -- is in to pitch the eighth and strikes Harper out.
