Cubs Ace Joey Kies was on fire on a hot afternoon. The Cubs had 15 hits and 8 walks to get the 10-run rule win.
Blue Jays came into the game on a roll after just beating the 1st place Reds earlier in the day only to stink up the joint in their second game of a split DH.
Taking nothing away from a good performance by the Cubs, the Blue Jays combined poor pitching, lousy defense, and getting only 6 hits which led to their demise. The only bright spots for the Blue Jays were Ben Hartshorn's 2-run HR and Andy Sanchez collecting 2 of the teams 6 hits. Cubs wanted the game more and did what they had to do to stay in the playoff hunt. Good job Cubs!
