Kerry Wood works 5 innings for Cubbies in his return

Wood was hurt by the longball today, giving up homers to Alfonso Soriano, Ryan Zimmerman, and Damian Jackson in his first start of the season. Will Ohman, who replaced Wood in the sixth trailing 4-0, gave up a solo HR to Marlon Anderson (his first of the year), further suggesting that the wind was a factor in today's day game at Wrigley. While the Nationals are one of the worst offenses in the NL, the outing can still be considered a positive one. Wood only gave up five hits, struck out six and didn't walk a single batter. He'll face a young Marlins lineup in spacious Dolphins Stadium next time out so get him back into your lineup for the next scoring period.
