The Chicago Cubs picked up another extra inning victory as they beat the Colorado Rockies 7-6 in 10 innings.  Both teams blew ninth inning leads with their closers, but it was the Rockies who ended up losing their fourth straight game when leading after seven innings.

The Cubs took the lead in the ninth innnig when Aramis Ramirez hit a two run homer off of Manny Corpas that gave the Cubs a 6-5 lead.  However, the Cubs couldn’t hold onto that lead as Kerry Wood blew the save in the bottom half of the inning Ryan Spilborghs tripled and scored Scott Podsednik.

In the tenth inning, Ryan Theriot singled in Mike Fontenot for the game winning run.  Carlos Marmol pitched the bottom half of the inning to pick up his second save of the season.  Wood picked up the win after blowing the save in the ninth inning.

It was the Cubs 10,000 win in their history which is a little milestone for the team.  I sure don’t remember a lot of those wins lol!
