Game One Hundred Forty-Three - Cubs 13 Brewers 7
WP - Aaron Heilman (3-3) LP - Yovani Gallardo (12-12) Save - None
For one of the few times this year the Cubs patience at the plate led to a win. The Cubs walked a season-high 12 times and the Brewers pitching staff hit three batters ... including Aramis Ramirez in the sixth with the bases loaded that forced in the eventual winning run. The Cubs pounded out 11 hits to go along with the 15 free base runners.
Derrek Lee walked four times and drove in three runs with a single and a double in his other two trips to the plate. Lee's three RBI on Tuesday night ran his season total to 101 ... the second time in his career Lee has topped the century mark in RBI (107 in 2005).
Ryan Theriot walked in each of his last four at bats. Theriot drove in a run and scored three of the Cubs' 13 runs.

Still, it turns out that Derrek...

The Cubs almost had a perfect night last night. They found a way to win without much office, the Giants lost, but the Cardinals out-slugged the Marlins (which wasn't all bad, since the Cubs trail the Marlins in the Wild Card).
