The Comeback Kids

Former Cubs players Mark DeRosa and Kerry Wood of the Indians have not had the greatest return to Wrigley Field. While both are still beloved players, and received standing ovations when they entered the first game, the Cubs have proven that they are able to win without them. 

The Cubs have defeated the Indians during both games of the three game series at Wrigley, with both games going into extra innings. Friday the Cubs won 8-7 in the 10th inning against Wood after Derek Lee's second homer of the game, and Ryan Theriot's RBI single. Saturday the Cubs won 6-5 in the 13th, again against Wood, after Kosuke Fukudome, Andres Blanco, and Aaron Miles were able to string  together two runs to defeat the Tribe. 

 

DeRosa had one RBI and scored a run Friday, but only appeared for a pinch hit Saturday due to an injury after running into the wall in left field Friday.

The final game of the series takes place tomorrow at 1:20PM.
