Sunday showed there was no need for slouching on the field and in the dugout. After coming back to tie the game in the 8th as the Cubs took over in the 10th inning. Alfonso Soriano got the opportune hit to create the deadlock, 4-4. Then with the bases loaded Jeff Baker hit a walk-off RBI single as the Cubs got the sweep against the Astros. They truly needed this series win to pick them up. Marlon Byrd cranked out 3 hits while Geovany Soto added an RBI double The lineup tallied 16 hits.
Matt Garza pitched a fine game, going 7 big innings. He allowed 2 runs on 5 hits and 3 walks. He recorded 9 strikeouts as didn't get the decision. The bullpen did well with the likes of Samardzja, Grabow, and Marmol. He yielded 2 runs through 3 innings. The Cubs have ground to made up in the division. They will see a few their Central opponents coming up. Hopefully come this week Zambrano will be ready for a big start and the team will continue it's win streak.
