MLB Game of the Day: Astros vs. Cubs

Yesterday's battle in the windy city was a tale of a comeback, and a home win in dramatic fashion, as the Houston Astros geared up to challenge the Cubs in Chicago. The Astros got hot fast, lighting up the scoreboard 5 times in the first two innings, including two hits from Lance Berkman that drove in runs. Yet the Cubby comeback would begin in the bottom of the second inning, as home runs from Derek Lee and Angel Pagan drove in 6 runs to give the Cubs a 6-5 lead going to the third inning. Mike Lamb of the Astros would then homer to tie the game at 6, yet in the next inning, Ryan Theriot would hit the game winning home run, making the game 7-6. Pitching and outfielding worked their magic for both teams, as no more runs would score, and the streaking Cubs continued their excellent win ratio.
