Brewers survive the Gagne

By on April 2, 2008
Milwaukee Brewers 4, Chicago Cubs 3 (10 innings)
Kosoke Fukudome had a nice little debut as he went 3 for 3 with a homerun and drove in all 3 Cubs runs. Derek Lee and Felix Pie were the only other Cubs hitters with base-hits, as this game was a product of the elements it was played in.
Give credit to Ben Sheets. Sheets threw 6 and 1/3 innings of 2-hit shutout baseball, striking out 7 and walking none. Carlos Zambrano nearly matched him, throwing his own 6 and 2/3 of shutout baseball, allowing 3 hits and striking out 5 while walking one.
Kerry Wood came in and gave up 3 runs; and then the new Brewers closer Eric Gagne came in and blew the lead allowing the Cubs to send it to a 10th inning tied at 3. The Brewers scored in the top of the 10th and David Riske came in and shut the door for the win.
