Can someone help me identify a Cubs game?

My wife purchased a great Wrigley Field framed poster this weekend. I was looking at the details I can make out on the poster (it is not dated).

It is from last year (can see the Under Armor on the outfield doors) The Cubs are playing the Astros. Looks like Z is pitching. I cannot make out the score, but it is the top of the 8th, and the board says, Chris Burke 1-3, Triple.

Looks about 5:10 pm on the clock. That is all the info I can glean from the print.

Any stat peeps out there that might be able to help me figure out the date of this game, or point me in the right direction?

Thanks BCB'ers

Zambrano actually didn’t pitch, but it’s the only HOU@CHC game from last season where Burke hit a triple.

Man!

You just beat me to that. That’s the one. Ted Lilly pitched that game, and it was a 2:55 pm start, so the clock could have read 5:10.

I was rushing!

I knew someone else here was gonna try to beat me to it. Zambrano threw me off a little bit, though.

Thanks guys!!! I appreciate it.

So I was at that game. Great poster. My wife got it at Target. It is a black and white print, with green tinted ivy walls and green tinted dugouts. The Cubs on-deck logo is in color as well. Looks like a wide angle shot from around the press box area.

I went to all three of those Astros games last year. Great having such a nice print from a game I went to.

Thanks to sanantocub and everyone else for making this an even better present!
