Cubs Split first 2 with Marlins

The Cubs tied the series yesterday with a big 8-5 win. Ryan Theriot hit a clutch Grand Slam that was the difference in the game. It was a rare home run for The Riot, but it came at a great time. Let's hope the Cubs can get something going now! Game 3 of the 4 is coming up at 12:05 with Ted Lilly facing Anibal Sanchez.

This Date in Cubs History:

1917: At Wrigley Field, southpaw Hippo Vaughn of Chicago and Reds righty Fred Toney throw no-hitters against one another through the first nine innings. The deadlock is broken in the top of the tenth with a one-out single by Larry Kopf, an error and an infield hit by Jim Thorpe, and Toney then sets the Cubs down in order to preserve his extra inning gem.

1994: Changing jersey color from white to blue in an effort to snap losing skid doesn't work as Cubs lose their record eleventh consecutive game when blanked by John Smiley and the Reds, 9-0.
