Game 65 Cubs @ Phils June 11th FOX National game

Cliff Lee coming off one of his best games last week so I hope he can follow up with another good one today.

Today the Red Sox beat Toronto 16-4 so they are tied for best record with the Phils.

After eight the Phils are up 4-1.
Howard is 1-4 with an RBI and is still under .240.
Chase knocked in two runs in the first with a nice double not left center for the two RBI's.
The Cubs have two errors and continue to lead the league in errors.

Lee is having a great game, only four hits for the Cubs after eight. Marshall the lefty in the bullpen for the Cubs just gave up his first runs on the road this season when he gave up two to the Phils in the seventh.

Every time McCarver say Ruiz is sounds like two words "Rew Eeze" Carlos Rew

Anyway they picked up a few insurance runs in the eighth two of which came from a chase Utley 2 run homer.

Mood is great. I love this kind of win. They got two runs on a home run but e game was out of reach by then. Their runs were mostly from a few clutch hits and that's nice. Ten hits four walks and only five strike outs. Good job.

Win 7-1
Streak 2 wins
Last ten 5-5
Record 39-26 first team to 39 wins.
