What I saw: Carlos Zambrano went 6 2/3 scorless innings of 3 hit baseball. He left in the 7th in what appeared to be cramping in his arm which he's dealt with in the past. It was scorless until the top of the ninth. Kerry Wood came into the game to keep the game scorless. In his first pitch he hit Rickie Weeks with a pitch and he was eventually knocked in by a Ryan Braun single after the Cubs intentionally walked Prince Fielder (MIL 1-0). With Braun and Fielder on base Corey Hart hit a double, then advanced to third (MIL 3-0). The Cubs then got their shot. Derrek Lee led of the bottom of the ninth with a single off of Eric Gagne. Aramis Ramirez walked on four straight pitches. In his MLB debut, Kosuke Fukudome came up to bat previously having doubled, walked, and singled. On a 3-1 count he hit a 3 run home run and Wrigley Field went into pandemonium (Tie 3-3). Bob Howry came into the top of the tenth and gave up a leadoff double to Craig Counsell. Former Cubs Jason Kendall sacrificed Counsell over to third base on a bunt. Tony Gwynn Jr. hit a sacrifice fly to center field (MIL 4-3). The Cubs and Ryan Theriot, Alfonso Soriano, and Derrek Lee got out 1-2-3 and the Cubs lost 4-3 in 10 innings. Eric Gane got the win for the Brewers (1-0), and Bob Howry got the loss for the Cubs (0-1). A day where "Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks got a statue presented to him outside of Wrigley Field was spoiled. The Cubs are (0-1) and the Brewers are (1-0).
