Cubs Get Past Rockies 5-2 to Open LCS
The Chicago Cubs started the League Championship Series in style today, winning on the road against the Colorado Rockies at Astrodome by a score of 5-2 to take an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Cubs left-hander Fritz Peterson was named player of the game after he threw 8 innings allowing 2 runs.

Chicago used the bat of Jim Gosger to get the win. The center fielder hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 5-1. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"It's a mindset," said Peterson. "Just trying to do your job, trying to be consistent."

Game 2 is set to be played tomorrow in Denver. The scheduled starters for the game are Tim Wakefield for the Chicago Cubs and Chris R Young for the the Colorado Rockies.
