VS.

Ryan Dempster (0-0) vs. Jair Jurrjens (0-0)

The Cubs looked great in the early innings hitting 2 2-run shots to take the 4-0 lead in the 6th. A 3-run bomb by Yunel Escobar tied the game in the 7th and Marmol gave up the wlak off hit to Chipper Jones on a screaming single past Fontenot with 2 outs in the 10th. Overall the Cubs offense looks good, but the pitching will need to be fine tuned.

VS.

Randy Wells (0-0) VS. Tommy Hanson (0-0)

It started out looking like a great day to be a Cubs fan as they led by 3 after twoinnings. Brian McCann and the Braves changed that by tying the score in the 4th. After taking the lead in the 6th the Braves never trailed again. McCann looked good getting his first first hit, HR, and RBI's of the season. Aramis Ramirez was the bright spot for the Cubs going 2-4 with 2 RBI's and his first HR of the season.

VS.

Tom Gorzelanny (0-0) VS. Homer Bailey (0-0)

Two words described what the Cubs struggles with in this game......Homer Bailey!! Bailey went a complete game shutout, allowing only 2 hits and facing just 1 batter above the minimum. Bailey started the game firing fastballs for strikes and by the end of the game his off-speed stuff was really confusing the Cubs. 3 HR's given up by Gorzellany were the difference as Rolen, Gomes and Hernandez all went yard to move the Reds to 3-1 and the Cubs fell to 1-3 on the early season.
