A-Ram leads Cubs over D'Backs
Baseball Betting Lines
07/07/2010 -
Phoenix, AZ (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Aramis Ramirez belted a pair of two-run homers,
and the Chicago Cubs secured back-to-back road wins for the first time since
late May with a 6-4 decision over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the middle
installment of a three-game series.
Ramirez, who came into Tuesday hitting .178, went deep off starter Barry
Enright in the sixth inning and Aaron Heilman in the eighth as the Cubs posted
consecutive victories for the first time since June 16-17 vs. Oakland. They
hadn't won two in a row on the road since May 22-23 against Texas, which was
their last road series triumph.
Kosuke Fukudome hit a solo homer for the Cubs, who moved to 9-2 against
National League West competition this season. Chicago is 28-45 against all
other foes. Tuesday's result also gave the Cubs their first series win at
Chase Field since August 22-24, 2003 when the club won two of three games.
Carlos Silva (9-2) gave up four hits and a pair of runs over six innings
to snap a four-start winless skid. He's 5-0 on the road this season. Carlos
Marmol pitched the final 1 2/3 innings for his 16th save.
Kelly Johnson homered for the Diamondbacks, who lost their fourth in a row.
Enright (1-1) was charged with seven hits and three runs over 5 2/3 innings in
his second major league appearance.
Stephen Drew's sacrifice fly gave the Diamondbacks an early lead in the second
inning, but they failed to add to that despite having runners at the corners
and nobody out in the fourth as Mark Reynolds struck out and Adam LaRoche
grounded into a double play.
Fukudome homered to right leading off the sixth. Derrek Lee doubled later in
the inning and scored on a Ramirez longball to left-center.
Johnson's homer to center in the bottom of the inning had the Diamondbacks
within 3-2, but Ryan Theriot singled in Geovany Soto in the seventh. Ramirez
then made it 6-2 in the eighth. Tyler Colvin walked to start the inning and
Ramirez then crushed a homer to left.
Johnson and Justin Upton singled in runs in the bottom of the eighth, but with
two runners on base, Miguel Montero and Reynolds both struck out to keep
Chicago ahead.
LaRoche struck out to start the ninth, but made it to first on a wild pitch.
Marmol retired the next three batters.
