Cubs Win
For those of you that missed Friday’s match up against the Arizona
Diamondback, you missed an outstanding performance from Ted Lilly!
Lilly allowed only three hits while walking two and striking out ten.
That’s what can happen when you adjust your pitching well.
He did get a little help from the cubbies arms and bats including his
own. Lilly had an RBI to tie the game and Derrek Lee hit his ninth
homerun to give a little more breathing room. Once the game was in
hand, Lilly turned the mound over to Carlos Marmol who needed a little
assistance from the umpire to ensure nobody would score. In the 8th,
Augie Ojeda tried to steal second and the umpire correctly called
interference on Eric Byrnes with Geovany Soto’s throw to second. That
was as close as the D’Backs would come to scoring for the rest of the
game.
Kerry Wood finally had a strong performance getting a 1-2-3 for his
ninth save of the season. Nine pitches were all he needed and that
finished the 3-1 win over the D’Bs!
