Victory, Sweet Precious Victory
Tuesday, May 10, 2005
Over the last ten games prior to tonight, the Cubs had scored an average of 2.9 runs/game. Tonight, the Cubs offense flexed their muscles and posted seven runs on the scoreboard.
Fortunately, the Cubs pitching was also stellar. Greg Maddux was completely in control for 6.2 innings, allowing 0 runs, 3 hits, 3 walks, and striking out 10.
The only moment of concern occurred in the top of the seventh when Maddux loaded the bases. At that point, Dusty Baker pulled Maddux, much to the crowds' displeasure (and mine). However, Michael Wuertz got the out and escaped the inning without allowing a Metropolitan to cross the plate.
Final Score: Cubs 7, Mets 0. This was the Cubs' pitchers second shutout of the season. They previously blanked the Brewers on April 9.
This was a huge win for the Cubs, a laugher of sorts that will hopefully relax the Cubs offense, and give them some momentum to continue their winning ways. (We've won 2 of 3!).
