Cubs Best Red Sox in Pitching Duel
Chicago starter Tim Wakefield put a stranglehold on the Boston offense. The right-hander had complete command of his knuckleball in leading the Cubs to a 2-1 win. The winning pitcher was Wakefield, now 3-0. He tossed 7 innings of 4-hit ball, while walking 3 and fanning 6. Pedro Feliciano, summoned from the bullpen, notched his 3rd save.

It could have been a different outcome for Chicago, had it not been for Tony Piet, the former first round draft pick . Piet contributed a run-scoring ground out in the top of the second inning to put Chicago up, 2-1.

"Whenever we hold the other team to one run," said Cubs manager Matt Ida, "I like our chances."

Chicago has an impressive 26-9 record.
