Jake Fox drew a walk-off walk with two outs in the 10th inning to give the Cubs a 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday afternoon.
With the game tied at 1 and one out, Ryan Theriot singled to right past a leaping Craig Counsell and moved up on a wild pitch by Mark DiFelice. Theriot advanced on Derrek Lee's flyout to deep right field, and Milton Bradley was intentionally walked. DiFelice fell behind pinch-hitter Geovany Soto, and then intentionally walked him to load the bases for Fox, who worked the count full and then fouled off four straight pitches before drawing the game-winning walk.
The Brewers had runners at first and second with two outs in the seventh when Prince Fielder singled to center. Pitcher Jeff Suppan tried to score on the hit, but was thrown out at home by center fielder Kosuke Fukudome.
Counsell and Ryan Braun both singled in the Brewers' fourth, and Carlos Zambrano then hit Fielder on the arm to load the bases. Cubs pitching coach Larry Rothschild had a few words with Zambrano, who got the next two batters to pop up, making one of the catches himself in foul territory. But Zambrano then walked Corey Hart to force in a run.
Suppan appeared to retaliate when he plunked Lee on the left hip with a pitch with one out in the fourth. Home-plate umpire Bill Welke issued a warning to both benches but did nothing when Suppan hit Fox with a pitch leading off the Chicago fifth. Mike Fontenot doubled, and one out later, Fox scored on Zambrano's single to center to tie the game. |
