Soriano Singles
Alfonso Soriano leads off the bottom of the first with a single. We'll see if Billingsley concentrates on Soriano or the hitter, Theriot. Given that Torre is managing, he'll throw a lot.
On the first pitch, the ball goes through Martin's legs and Soriano moves to second.
Update: Theriot leaves Soriano at second as he strikes out on a pitch in the dirt.
Update: Lee strikes out as he chases two pitches low and outside. The first was close to the outside corner, but the second was way out of the strike zone. Are the Cubs losing their selectivity.
Update: Aramis Ramirez flies out to center to end the inning. He didn't chase the low, outside pitch. Still no score.
