| It's all evened up in the NLCS as the home team wins again. The Cubs were getting one hit by Rockies starter Franklin Morales through the first 5 innings, but Morales falters in the 6th by allowing 3 straight hits after getting the first out. This brought in Mark Redman, who walked 2 (one intentional) and committed a balk, which brought out Taylor Buchholz to face Matt Murton with runners on 2nd and 3rd and the Cubs up by 1. Murton doubles, scoring both runs, and the 4-1 score would hold up to the end. Here's how it happened: [1]*** BOTTOM OF INNING 6 *** 0 J.Kendall 3- 3 1 Ground Out b-0 SUBSTITUTE PH- Cliff Floyd 1 C.Floyd 1-10 9 5 Single b-1 1 1 A.Soriano 2- 8 5 Single 1-2 b-1 1 12 R.Theriot 2-10 3 Double 2-H 1-H b-2 SUBSTITUTE P - Mark Redman 1 2 D.Lee 1- 7 4 Walk b-1 1 12 A.Ramirez 1 Balk 2-3 1-2 1 23 A.Ramirez 0 Int Walk b-1 SUBSTITUTE P - Taylor Buchholz 1 123 M.Murton 5- 4 3 Double 3-H 2-H 1-3 b-2 1 23 M.Derosa 2- 7 6 Fly Out Double Play 3-o b-0 The Rockies got a leadoff single in the 9th off Bob Howry, which brought Matt Wuertz out of the bullpen. Wuertz struck out the next 3 batters to finish the game and earn the save. Jason Marquis got the win, allowing 5 hits and 1 run through 6 in his first playoff start. The teams will enjoy an off day before game 5, which will be a battle of aces between Jeff Francis and Carlos Zambrano. |
