Lucky Score
The Cubs get a winning roll as they defeat the Astros 11-7. Kerry Wood returns from the disabled list and uses just seven pitches, six strikes, to retire the Astros in the eighth innings (they did get one hit). Marmol pitches the ninth, and the comeback from the blown lead nets Chicago their 68th victory, most in the NL by six.
Soriano, Lee and DeRosa were the stars, combining to go 10 for 15 with eight RBI and five runs scored. Derrek Lee was two for his last 22. Piniella gave him Monday off, and he responded with four hits today.

Derrek Lee, please. Not Derek. Ugh, David, you're a professional baseball writer!
At least this isn't his radio show, where he'd probably mispronounce his name as well!
