Ted Lilly did it all Friday night. He took the win on the mound, and had the two run single that proved to be the difference in a 3-1 game. Lilly took a 1-0 fastball from Dan Haren and drove it into center field, scoring two runs and putting the Cubs ahead 2-1 at the time.
Lilly picked up his third win of the season, improving to 3-4, by giving up just one run in seven innings. He walked just two, and K’d a season high ten Diamondbacks. Haren took the loss, making just the mistake to Lilly, the only two runs he gave up in seven innings.
The Diamondbacks managed just four hits in the game. The only run came on a Chris Young solo homer in the first inning. The Cubs had only seven hits, but they were at the right time. Lilly had the big two run single after an intentional walk to Reed Johnson.
Mark DeRosa was the only player with two hits in the game. Kerry Wood picked up his sixth save of the year by throwing a scoreless ninth inning with a K.
