19 April 2009




Smoltz pitched a gem...only to have the bullpen completely blow it!!!! Derosa had a nice game but the offense was not enough to make up for pitchers who walk in runs. It's a good thing that these sorts of games are not the norm.

Second baseman Jeff Baker had 2 base hits and 2 RBI at Wrigley Field where the
Chicago (NL) Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 5 to 3.

Carlos Marmol(1-1) was called upon to do the job and he was the winning
pitcher. He went 2 innings surrendering 1 hit and 2 walks lowering his ERA
from 5.06 to 3.68. Chicago (NL) banged out 9 hits on the night.

Brad Thompson(2-1) was tagged with the loss in relief. The win by Chicago
(NL) is a very welcome one as they have been struggling in recent days.

Louis, which had been on a roll, saw their record drop to 10-4.
