Soriano's 3 HR Powers the Cubs in a Slugfest at Great American Ball Park
by Pat
9/7/08

Alfonso Soriano had a great night on Saturday. He went 4-5, with 3 HR to help break the Cubs' 6 game losing streak. The Cubs beat the Reds 14-9 in a game that started off as a blowout, but ended in a slugfest, thanks to a poor performance be the Cubs' bullpen.

Jason Marquis was brilliant on the mound for the Cubs. He pitched 7+ innings, and only gave up 2 runs on 5 hits. He left the game with a comfortable 9-2 lead, after adding a solo HR of his own.

Mark DeRosa also had a 3-run HR, Derek Lee had 4 hits and 3 RBI, and 8 of the 9 Cubs starters had at least one hit.

Jeff Samardzija gave up 3 runs without even recording an out, and Carlos Marmol allowed all 3 inherited runners (courtesy of Michael Wuertz) to score when he gave up a grand slam to Jeff Keppinger, the first batter he faced.

Lou Piniella probably isn't the best guy to ask, if you're looking for directions.

Forget rain delays from hurricanes... squirrels are the real problem.
