- The Cubs won in dramatic fashion today on a 9th inning walk off single by Ryan Theriot. Derrek Lee played a great game on the base paths and at the plate. Lee had a 13-game hitting streak going. Soto doubled twice and Lilly pitched a great game in the win.
- Pitcher Jay Jackson has been taken off the DL for the Tennessee Smokies. Outfielder Doug Deeds has been promoted to AA. Brandon Guyer and Todd Blackford have been sent back to High Class A Daytona.
