Cubs; WGN 9; vs. Diamondbacks; Webb, 8-7, 3.42 ERA vs. Marquis, 6-5, 4.03 ERA
In Bonds' first and only game against the Cubs in the 4 game series, he sure made it very interesting. In the 2nd inning Bonds connected off of Ted Lilly for a solo shot, his 18th of the year, Giants down 4-1. His next at-bat was in the 3rd inning, when he had a 2 RBI single. Giants down 4-3.
His at-bat after that, he walked, but then in the 7th inning, with Will Ohman on the hill, he went deep again. A 3 run shot in the center field basket. 9-8 Cubs. That was the final. 8 runs for the Giants, he drove in 6. He hit 2 shots, 18 and 19 on the year for him, 752 and 753 on the past 2 decades for him.
How'd the Cubs do in all this mess? No homers. Still won, but oddly enough no homers. Players that did good yesterday include Alfonso Soriano (3-5, 2 R, 1 RBI), Aramis Ramirez (3-5, 2 R, 2 RBI), Mike Fontenot (2-4, RBI), and especially Jacque Jones (4-5, RBI), who I can say is doing OK for the first time since 2006. His numbers aren't great, but 2 weeks and 4 days ago he was hitting .227, now he is hitting .244, which is good seeing as he is getting more playing time now.
The bad news is that Daryle Ward, Lee's replacement, and Cliff Floyd went down yesterday. Ward with a calf injury, Floyd was dizzy. Now Jake Fox will probably take over at first, and Pagan will surely play. The game starts at 2:20. The game is on Superstation WGN.
Thanks,
Ryan
