After winning last night, 7-2, with the help of a Russell Martin grand slam to break a 2-2 tie in the 6th inning, to start the four-game series out at the Ravine against the Cubs, Randy Wolf was a one-man wrecking machine again tonight, allowing just one hit and one run in seven innings, and driving in the Dodgers only two runs of the night in a 2-1 win, their second straight. (Wolf now has five RBI in his last two starts.) Jonathan Broxton pitched a perfect ninth inning for his 27th save.
Also, there was a great catch in the 8th inning of this game as Cubs rookie Sam Fuld robbed Manny of a homerun leaping over the centerfield fence to make the catch.
With the win, the Dodgers bump their slim West lead back up to 4½ games over the Rockies, who lost at home to the Giants tonight. The Giants remain 5½ back. The Blue maintain the best record in the NL at 73-50.
Cubs send Ted Lilly to the bump tomorrow to oppose Dodger knuckleballer Charlie Haeger. Game is one of the Fox Game of the Week games, so an afternoon affair. A win tomorrow would give the Dodgers a much-needed winning streak.
