-----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I saw: Jason Marquis showed why he's 5th starter, 5 runs (4 earned) in 5 1/3 innings. The Cubs made the 7th inning stretch worth it, putting up a crooked number 5 on the scoreboard putting the Cubs up 8-5. Derrek Lee went 4-4 with 2 singles, a double, and a solo home run. Kosuke Fukudome laid down a perfect bunt and had a hige double to put the Cubs up 7-5 in the 7th. Kevin Hart got his first career win. The Cubs are (2-3) and the Astros are (2-4)

My MVP: Derrek Lee (CHC)
