Rookied up | Author: Carlos
A bunch of rookies playing. That’s how the Cubs looked like tonight, and they got the win. Don’t get me wrong, a bunch of rookies in a good way!
Matt Murton had a pair of infield singles, he stole a base and Ronny Cedeno added another two hits and SB as the Cubs edged the Dodgers 6-3, tonight. Henry Blanco hit a two out, two run single against Brad Penny in the sixth inning to put the score 5-3.
The team actually looked great tonight, and it was a satisfying win over the pesky Dodger team. Why do I say that? Because even if their lineup isn’t looking overpowering, threatening or at least decent, they do put on a good show for their fanatics (a couple of which were behind homeplate trying to distract Prior.); Mark, however, won the decision and put his record at 10-5.
Scott McClain hit a pinch-hit double, his career first, when he entered the game for Roberto Novoa… shiver.
