Ran out of gas in the eighth, but the bullpen brought it home for him once again.

THE THREE HEROES:
- Superhero - Travis Wood. Second start in a row with the Superhero honors.
- Hero - Luis Valbuena. The Venezuelan god of OBP strikes again with two walks and a homer.
- Sidekick - Hector Rondon. Closed the door efficiently to give the Cubs at least a split in the series.
THE THREE GOATS: Tough night for the top of the order.
- Big Goat - Junior Lake. The whiff in the third with runners on second and third was the lowlight of his 0-for-4 evening.
- Goat - Anthony Rizzo. His 0-for-4 night was almost identical to Lake's, including the two runners stranded in the third. Lineup position is what saved him from the top stair.
- Kid - Starlin Castro. Also 0-for-4, but had the benefit of the bases being empty each time.
