Bullpen struggles as Cubs lose to Phillies
CHICAGO – The names coming out of the Cubs bullpen changed. The results didn't.
Carlos Ruiz hit a tiebreaking solo homer in the eighth inning and the Philadelphia Phillies used Hector Luna's first career grand slam to pull away for a 9-2 victory over the Cubs on Wednesday night.
With recently demoted closer Carlos Marmol on the disabled list and Kerry Wood struggling, the Cubs turned to Shawn Camp, Scott Maine, and Michael Bowden in the eighth and ninth innings. The trio combined to give up 7 runs.
