The Dodgers took a 7-0 lead on the Cubs after three innings. Seven different Los Angeles players scored. A nice socialist game.

Update: The Cubs are convinced to the validity of the socialist system as they score five in the bottom of the fifth. All twelve runs in the game have been scored by twelve different players. The Dodgers lead 7-5.

Update: The Cubs tie the game at seven in the bottom of the seventh. Still, no batter has scored more than one run.

Update: Just checking the datebase, the most runs scored in a game since 1974 in which each run was scored by a different player is 15. It's been done eleven times, most recently Sept. 24, 2005 by Milwaukee and St. Louis.

Update: J.D. Drew commits a three-base error in the bottom of the eighth to set up a Derrek Lee sacrifice fly. Theriot scores to give the game 15 runs by 15 different runners and the Cubs an 8-7 lead.

Update: Two errors in the top of the 9th put Dodgers on first and third with one out. The Cubs made six errors in this game, the Dodger two.

Update: Martin grounds to shortstop. The Cubs get the runner at second, but Derrek Lee can't dig the ball out of the dirt and the Dodgers tie the game at 8. Lofton, a pinch runner, scores the run, the 16th player to score in the game.

Update: The Cubs get out of the inning with the tie. To the bottom of the ninth.

Update: The Cubs don't score in the bottom of the ninth. Extra innings in Chicago.

Update: With two on and two out in the bottom of the eleventh, Cesar Izturis beats the team who traded him with a single up the middle. Pinch-runner Juan Mateo scores, the 17th different player to score on the night. That's the most runs scored, each by an individual player from 1974 on.
