Pirates 8
When the Cubs lose they go down ugly. The Cubs put up just 6 hits in the 8-4 loss to the Pirates and have yet to hit a home run since Friday. Jason Bay usually hits Marquis well but he went 0-4 today but his teammates picked him up. Xavier Nady went 3-4 with a homer and 2 rbis. Jason Marquis had an awful start giving up 6 runs in 4.2 innings pitched. On Sunday he pitched a great game against the Brewers continuing his up and down season. Speaking of the Brewers they beat the Nationals 6-2 today meaning the Cubs are back to 5.5 behind the Brewers.
If you like offense you should have been at the White Sox/Twins double header today. In game 1 of the day/night doubleheader the Twins beat the White Sox 20-14! 5 Home Runs were hit in that game. In game 2 of the day/night doubleheader the Twins beat the White Sox 12-0.
So in total the Twins scored 32 runs today while the Sox scored 12.
Going back to the Brewers, rookie Ryan Braun hit 2 home runs today. He and Hunter Pence from the Astros are in a battle for NL Rookie of the Year.
