Turning Point: The Bottom of the 7th. Jean Segura led off the Brewer 7th with double, as the Cubs Starter Scott Baker clung to a one run lead. After Akonori Aoki advanced the runner to third on a ground out, Baker got Rickie Weeks and Ryan Bruan to strike out to end the inning.

10-7 not bad...

10-7 not bad...

I expect the losses to start coming at a good clip...outside of those two games against Texas my offense has been pretty stagnant. I'm not too sure how long my pitching can hold up.

It Was Over When: CF David DeJesus finally broke out of his mini slump in the top of the 13th, lining a double to right center to score Ian Stewart.

Turning Point: Top of the 13th. Ian Stewart ran the count to 3-1 and got a good pitching, singling up the middle. With the Cubs bench empty, Dale Sveum left pitcher Carolos Villanueva in to bunt. Villanueva got the bunt down succesfully, and DeJesus brought Stewart in for the win.

Player of The Game: Alfonso Soriano - 2-6, 2HR, 2RBI, 2R

[albidnis]

Wow that was a tight game. After a long game like that, feels a lot better when you don't lose

[WrightStuff]

Atta boy with the HR Derby win in the last game! Sucks to see Nate down though...

[The Buddha]

I updated the series preview a bit, tried to make it more informative.

Wow that was a tight game. After a long game like that, feels a lot better when you don't lose

I wont lie...for the last 5 innings my heart was going a mile a minute..a lot of near miss game winners.

Atta boy with the HR Derby win in the last game! Sucks to see Nate down though...

Losing Nate is a big blow, his production is unmatched so far.

Turning Point: Bottom 9th. Cubs Managed Dale Sveum went with his gut and left Starting Pitcher Edwin Jackson in for the complete game shut out. Jackson lost his control and eventually lost the game.

Player of The Game: Chris Heisey - 3-4, 1R, 2 2b, 2 RBI

[WrightStuff]

Those games suck. So bad.

[krulmichael]

Really diggin' the new series preview banner man.

I always seem to find a way to lose when the game is tied come the 9th inning so I know all to well how those games feel.

Turning Point: Bottom 8th. Reds RF Jay Bruce hit a HR to Center Field to extend the Reds lead to 3-1. It would be an important run because Cubs 2B Brent Lillibridge hit a HR in the Top of the 9th that would have been the tying run.
