Willie Villegas, who is tied for 2nd in the NC in runs scored with 72, took Chicago hurler Bobby Nowlin deep in the top of the third. His 2-run home run put the Fire on top, 2-0. In all, Villegas had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 4.

Chicago manager Antonio Valdez said he was "mildly disappointed" with the loss. "We had our opportunities, but we didn't take advantage of them," he said.

This win makes it 5 in a row for San Francisco.
