07/03/2009 - Chicago, IL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jake Fox drew a bases loaded walk, scoring Ryan Theriot in the bottom of the 10th inning, as the Chicago Cubs edged the Milwaukee Brewers, 2-1, in the second of a four-game set at Wrigley Field.
Theriot finished 2-for-5, while Mike Fontenot and Koyie Hill each had two hits apiece for the Cubs, who took the first two games of the series and have won four of five overall.
Carlos Zambrano went an effective seven innings, but did not factor in the decision. The burly right-hander allowed one run on five hits, struck out three and walked the same number of batters. He also had an RBI single. Kevin Gregg (3-2) was credited with the win after working two scoreless innings.
Corey Hart accounted for the lone Milwaukee run with a bases loaded walk. The Brewers have dropped three straight. Craig Counsell had a hit and scored in defeat.
Jeff Suppan pitched to a no-decision after going seven solid innings. He gave up a run on four hits, walked a pair and fanned four.
In the home 10th, Theriot reached with a one-out single off Mark DiFelice (4- 1), took second on a wild pitch and made it to third on Derrek Lee's fly out to right. DiFelice then walked Milton Bradley and Geovany Soto intentionally, bringing Fox to the plate. After fouling off three straight 3-2 count pitches, the rookie took one a bit inside for ball four and scoring Theriot to give the Cubs the win.
Milwaukee was able to scratch out a run to open the scoring in the top of the fourth. Counsell and Ryan Braun each singled, and Fielder was hit by a pitch to load the bases. After a brief mound conference, Zambrano settled down to get the next two hitters to pop out, but walked Hart to force in a run.
Then in the home half, Lee was plunked by Suppan with one away, prompting warnings from home-plate umpire Bill Welke. The Cubs evened things in the fifth when Zambrano laced a single to center that brought home Fox, who was hit by a pitch to start the inning.
In the top of the seventh, the Brewers mounted a threat, putting the first two runners on with nobody out. Zambrano then struck out Counsell and retired Braun, before Fielder grounded a base hit through the right side, but Suppan, who reached with a leadoff single was thrown out at the plate by Kosuke Fukudome to keep the game tied at 1-1.
The Brewers had a two-out threat in the top of the ninth, putting two on base, but Gregg got Braun to pop out to short. Then in the home half Sam Fuld lined into a double-play and the game went into extra innings.
Game Notes
Milwaukee has lost five of its eight meetings with the Cubs this season, but won in five of its nine visits to Wrigley a year ago...Both teams went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 runners apiece.
