Game 6

3-3 on the year

Well, today was not a good days in Cubs land. Day started with word that Andrew Cashner AND Randy Wells were both headed to the DL. Wells is heading to the DL with a strained forearm and Cashner a sore rotator cuff. So, 40% of the rotation just went down. Should be fun three to four weeks! But, at least we have Ryan Dempster pitching pretty well. Oops!!

Things got off to a rocky start for Dempster again this game, Willie Bloomquist slammed a triple into left center scoring two runs. Aramis Ramirez tied the game in the bottom of the inning with a two run home run, his first of the season. Willie Bloomquist got the D-Backs rolling again in the 5th with a single scoring one on way to a three run inning and a 5-3 D-Backs lead. 

Alfonso Soriano brought the Cubs within one run with a solo home run in the 7th. But, Arizona catcher Miguel Montero matched that score with his second home run of the season to give his team a 2 run lead in the top of the 8th.

That Montero insurance run would come in big when the Cubs would score one more run in the bottom of the 8th when Tyler Colvin grounded out with the bases loaded driving in Starlin Castro for the final tally of the game.

J.J. Putz came on to notch his second save of the season for Arizona. The win went to Armando Galarraga (1-0) with the lose going to Cubs starter Ryan Dempster (0-2).   The Cubs fall to 3-3 on the season heading into a Friday, Saturday, Sunday series with the Milwaukee Brewers
