Cubs Sweep Brewers in Reversal of Fortune

4/25 - In just 3 days since producing the largest winning margin, 20-0, in major league baseball's history, the Milwaukee Brewers could only muster 4 runs in the three games of a series sweep loss to the Chicago Cubs. The Cubbies clinched the sweep 12 -2 with all nine players getting hits for a total of 18 including a double by winning pitcher Randy Wells.

4/24 - In a game of Cubs' firsts, Ted Lilly was the winning pitcher in his first start since coming off of the DL. The Big Z, Carlos Zambrano, made his first relief appearance since being sent to the bullpen by Cubs manager Lou Pinella. Marlon Byrd provided the offense going 3 for 5 and scoring the winning run in the sixth.

4/23 - Ryan Dempster held the volatile Brewers to one run in 7 & 2/3 innings to collect the win. Kosuke Fukudome supplied the winning run by scoring in the 1st inning on a throwing error at home plate. Fukudome added a homer later in the game.
