Don't See that too Often
The Cubs take a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a strikeout and a double steal. With Alfonso Soriano at third and Derrek Lee on first, Aramis Ramirez strikes out. Lee took off for second, and the throw is made to the base, allowing Soriano to go from third and beat the return.
Update: Even less often do you see the Nationals score this many runs. Down 4-0 in the sixth, they score two before Willie Harris hits a grand slam to give Washington the lead. They now lead 10-5 after eight. Emilio Bonifacio, who led off today despite a .260 OBA, reached base twice today and scored two runs.
Update: Ronnie Belliard picks up his fourth hit of the game, a home run to extend the Nationals lead to 11-5. Belliard with a single and two doubles, just misses the cycle by a triple.
Update: Willie Harris homers for the second time, a two run shot that makes the score 13-5. That should be a big enough lead for the Nat's bullpen. It's their eighth 10-run game of the season, and they are two runs away from tying their high of the season.
