Cubs 15-8
Nationals 8-16

POTG: CF Reed Johnson (2 R, H, HBP, awesome catch)
Runner Up: 3B A Ram (2 H, R, RBI), RF Fukudome (2 H, 2B), SP Ryan Dempster (7 IP, 4 H, 3 ER, 3 BB, 5 K, QS [3])

And sometimes the backup catcher gets lucky on a bad pitch.

Things to take out of this one
– Reed Johnson gets to make the highlight reels for all times
– Ryan Dempster considers to give long, winnable starts
– Marmol gets in trouble, out of trouble
– team continues to walk quite a bit
– Ryan Theriot gets chances to evaluate when he should be stealing bases
– Soto gets to many “bad at bats to evaluate”

That’s pretty much it.
