Wandy Rodriguez gives up one run tonight over eight innings, out-pitching Rich Hill as Houston takes a 2-1 victory over the Cubs in ten innings. Both starters gave up a single run, but Wandy pitched one more inning and struck out three more batters, nine in total. It’s much better than his first start against the Cubs this season in which he gave up seven runs in 3 1/3 innings.
Ryan Theriot took Soriano’s place in the leadoff slot and reached base twice in five trips, doubling twice and scoring Chicago’s only run.
