Cubs grab early lead, top Pirates
Baseball Betting Lines
07/01/2009 -
Pittsburgh, PA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Derrek Lee belted a two-run home run and
Randy Wells tossed seven innings of one-run ball to lead the Chicago Cubs past
the Pittsburgh Pirates, 4-1, in the rubber match of a three-game set at PNC
Park.
Wells (3-3) gave up six hits and fanned four batters to collect his
third straight victory. Kevin Gregg retired the side in the ninth to pick up
his 14th save of the year.
Kosuke Fukudome hit a solo homer and doubled for the Cubs, who had lost seven
of nine coming into the tilt. Geovany Soto went 2-for-4 with a triple and an
RBI single.
Virgil Vasquez (1-1) went six frames, allowing three runs on seven hits with
three walks and two strikeouts to take the loss. Vasquez got his first major-
league victory against the Royals last Friday. He allowed two runs and four
hits in six innings with two walks and seven strikeouts in that game.
Brandon Moss knocked in the lone run for the Pirates with a single. Andrew
McCutchen and Jason Jaramillo each had two hits for Pittsburgh, which has won
five of its last eight games despite the loss.
The Cubs used a two-run homer from Lee in the top of the first inning
to take the early edge. Sam Fuld started things with his first-career MLB hit
-- a double to right. Fuld crossed the plate two batters later when Lee drove
a Vasquez offering over the wall in center.
Pittsburgh plated a run in the bottom half of the frame. McCutchen doubled and
Adam LaRoche walked to put runners on the corners with two outs. Moss then
knocked in McCutchen with a single to center.
Chicago put men on first and third with one out in the top of the fifth, but
Lee grounded into a double play. In the home half of the inning, Jack Wilson
was thrown out at the plate after Freddy Sanchez singled to left.
Fukudome smacked a two-out, home run over the wall in right field in the sixth
to extend the Cubs' margin to 3-1.
Soto added an RBI single in the eighth.
Carlos Marmol and Gregg tossed a scoreless eighth and ninth, respectively, to
secure the victory.
