Charlie Haeger had yet another solid start for Los Angeles, this time shutting down the Cubs with a fluttering knuckleball and a few 84 mph fastballs. The Cubs only had one line drive off of Haeger, who threw seven shut-out innings. The 2009 version of Haeger may turn out to be a legitimate improvement from the version cut loose by the White Sox and the Padres.Cubs' starter Ted Lilly wasn't perfect, but he was plenty good. Only throwing six curveballs, Lilly was even more of a fly ball pitcher than usual, and two solo home runs were all the Dodgers needed to give Haeger, Jonathan Broxton (in a high leverage set-up role) and George Sherrill.Out in Des Moines, James Russell and the I-Cubs are facing Florida's Triple-A affiliate, the New Orleans Zephyrs. Rick Vandenhurk, recently demoted, faces Iowa and Russell. Russell was a 14th round pick in 2007 out of UT-Austin. Just 23 years old, he's already moved up to the Pacific Coast League. He's a 6'4" lefty who looks to have gone from full-time starter to swingman in 2009. You can watch the game online.
