Billingsley went 5.1 innings with 10 hits, 2 ER, and 6 K's in an 8-5 win. By far the best part of this game however, would have to be the fourth inning where all the lights went out in Wrigley Field. If you were like me and watching it on WGN, the broadcast wasn't the same afterwards. Strange things were afoot. James Loney was one RBI short of hitting for the cycle, going 3 for 5 to add to The Great Bearded ones HR, 2 RBI, 2 for 5 performance.
Then there was today's early game which featured the golden boy making his hometown start, John Ely pitched against Ted Lilly. Ely would go 7 scoreless innings until, to quote Steve Sax at Sons of Steve Garvey, "Xavier Paul (0-for-4 from the plate) finally told Ely that we weren't going to give him any runs this game. What's more, Paul added, I will fumble around like a blind man in right field to allow two triples in the eighth (one time of which saddled Paul with an error), so the Cubs will get the one measly run it will take to win."
