Rockies Drop Cubs, 2-1
The Colorado Rockies, despite a fine performance by Chicago pitcher Brian Martinko, grabbed a 2-1 win at Wrigley Field. Martinko allowed 2 runs over 6.2 innings. Jacob Caba notched the win in relief. The right-hander allowed no runs on 1 hit in 2 innings. His record now sits at 8-4. Jeff Lee was credited with the save, his 1st in 1 tries.

Colorado used a well-timed hit by Jonathan Mendenhall to capture the win. The second baseman socked a run-scoring double in the top of the sixth inning to put the Rockies ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 4 at-bats, it was important.

"Good ballgame," said Chicago manager Vin Calia. "But we came up on the short end."

The win puts Colorado at 80-68 this season.
