Cubs Escape Philadelphia, Avoid Sweep

In their third extra-inning game of the road trip, Kerry Wood threw two shutout innings for the win. Mark DeRosa's controversial home run was a big key, but it was Chase Utley's throwing error that made the difference in the end.

Jason Marquis threw five innings, managing to keep the team in the game despite walking five, hitting one batter and unleashing one wild pitch. Michael Wuertz gave up three runs without retiring a single batter to blow the save. The last time he had such a bad inning was July 8, 2005. The Cubs also won that game.

Derrek Lee had three hits, two RBI's and a slick play to save the game in the 9th inning. He snagged a Carlos Ruiz grounder for the unassisted put-out, with two out and the winning run on 2nd base.

Off-day tomorrow, then the Reds for three.
