Ramirez hit an RBI single in the 1st but he was just getting started. With the game tied 2-2 in the bottom of the 11th, Aram hit a walkoff home run, his 1st homer in over a month. After the game, Ramirez said he is starting to feel more comfortable at the plate and is beginning to see the ball better.
Randy Wells (3-2) pitched 6.2 innings allowing only 1 run on 7 hits. He walked 1 while striking out 3 Rockies. Wells didn’t figure into the decision thanks to Carlos Marmol, who blew a save opportunity in the 8th.
Sean Marshall (3-1) picked up his 3rd victory on the season by pitching 2 perfect innings including 4 strikeouts.
The Cubs offense had 10 hits which included multi-hit games bye Kosuke Fukudome (2), Starlin Castro (3), and Ramirez (2). Aside from calling a good game, Koyie Hill also had an RBI single in the 4th.
