Cubs-Pirates Game 7: Cubs 10, Pirates 8
Team | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | R | H | E |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Cubs | 0 | 1 | 6 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 10 | 13 | 3 |
Pirates | 0 | 0 | 0 | 5 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 8 | 13 | 2 |
Wow, 12 innings! It took 12 whole innings for the Cubs (4-3) to finally defeat the Pirates (3-4). And that was thanks to Pittsburgh having one remaining reliever in the pen, Rule V draftee Evan Meek (0-1).
I don’t know which makes me more concerned about the Cubs, the way they won, the fact that Jon Lieber (1-0) isn’t in the rotation while Dumpster and Marquis de Suck are, or the fact the Ted Lilly blew chunks today. Regardless, it goes down as a W for Chicago, but I think this team has serious question marks.
The two face each other again when Ryan Dempster faces Zach Duke at 6:05pm EDT.
