    Rolling along and threatening to put away the NL Central race, the Chicago Cubs got tripped up by a rookie making his first major league start.

    Even so, manager Joe Maddon will take a 6-1 homestand.

    "You'd have to be an idiot to not be happy," he said.

    Max Fried combined with four relievers on a five-hitter in his first major league start, and the Atlanta Braves ended the Cubs' six-game winning streak with a 5-1 victory Sunday.
