Ariel Martinez threw a 8 inning complete game while giving up only 4 hits, and stiking out a career high 15 Cubs. Martinez was in danger of losing this gem due to some timely Cub hitting until he helped himself out in the 5th with a game tying, 2-out RBI double.
The score stayed tied 2-2 until the 8th when the Royals put the game away with a go-ahead RBI single by Drew Kowalevicz followed-up by a 2 RBI single by Felix Villalobos.
Mike Bristol kept the Royals at bay for most of the day on the mound. He went the full 8IP for the tough loss. Brian Delaney had a big day for the Cubs. He doubled in the 4th and later scored, and gunned out a runner at the plate in the 5th to keep things tied up. |

Tyler Walsh tossed a complete game two-hit shutout to pace the Astros to a 6-0 victory over the Cubs in a morning duel at East Boston Stadium.
The game was played very well defensively by both sides.
Mike Vernon (2-for-4, R, RBI) knocked a first inning double which scored Walsh for the game-winner. "Trot" also turned a big unassisted double play from shortstop in the fourth.
Cory Edgar showcased a solid glove in center and plated Josh "D-Lowe" Vernon (1-for-2, 2R, 2SB) in the fifth for the Astros second run.
The Astros got another in the sixth on a base hit by Mike Vernon, a well-placed groundout by Dan Schumaker and an RBI single by Kevin Gorman.
Walsh added a two-run double in the seventh to extend the lead to six after Josh Vernon had walked, stole second and third, and scored when the ball got passed the third baseman.
Mark Andolina pitched well going the distance for the Cubs, but took the hard luck loss. |
|
   |
| T-Dubb, Trot and D-Lowe either scored or drove in all six runs. Walsh records first Astros shutout in a really long time. |
