Yesterday's game was quite a snooze and I really thought they were going to lose when Gray gave up back to back triples in the top of the eighth to let the Brewers take a 6-3 lead. Up until then the pitching was pretty good. Wells pitched a nice game until he began to weaken in the seventh, but Berg and Russel managed to stop the Brewers rally at one run.
But the Cubs managed surprisingly to come back with a terrific two-out rally in the bottom of the eighth against Hawkins, actually the first real major league inning of the season in terms of patience, solid ABs and clutch hitting. Theriot and Fukudome got the key hits, but it was a real team effort and nice to see them score runs other than by hitting home runs.
Earlier Soriano chalked up another error and continued his generally sloppy outfield play, but in this game it didn't matter much.
