Game Story

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Moises Alou hit another big home run 
against his father, but Neifi Perez got the last laugh.

The light-hitting second baseman, who came in batting just .202,
hit a two-out, two-run homer off Joe Borowski in the top of the
10th inning as the shorthanded San Francisco Giants posted a
5-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs.

Borowski (2-2) appeared to be cruising after retiring the first
two batters in the 10th, but walked Michael Tucker.  Perez
followed with his first homer of the season in his 150th at-bat,
giving San Francisco, which played without Barry Bonds, Ray
Durham and Jeffrey Hammonds, a victory in the rubber game of the
three-game series.

"I'm working harder than I ever have in eight years in the big
leagues," said Perez, who hit his first lefthanded homer since
May 31, 2002. "I'm taking batting practice early now and doing
what I'm supposed to do.  But lately it seems like when I hit it
even hard somebody catches it."

Perez's shot upstaged Alou, who tied the game, 3-3, with a
two-run blast off Felix Rodriguez in the seventh that landed on
Waveland Avenue beyond the left field wall.

"I hope it's nothing personal, but he (Perez) hurt us when he
was in Colorado and a few other times in the clutch," Cubs
manager Dusty Baker said. "You know when he goes up there he's
swinging and not taking anything."

On Wednesday, Alou hit a game-winning homer off Jim Brower in
the 10th to give the Cubs a 4-3 victory.

"I think he is just trying to keep doing what he has been doing
in the big leagues for awhile, but when I went to the mound I
told our people not to give him a pitch to hit," Giants manager
Felipe Alou said. "It was a slider (from Rodriguez) that stayed
flat."

Rodriguez recovered to shut down the Cubs in the eighth and Matt
Herges (1-2) followed with two scoreless innings to record the
win.

Borowski, whose ERA climbed to 6.35, was booed as he walked off
the field.

"I put it over the plate and that's where they like it,"
Borowski said. "If I'm going to give it up, I'd rather give it
up right away instead of getting two quick outs and then it
seems like I hit a wall."

Giants starter Dustin Hermanson blanked the Cubs through five
innings before tiring in the sixth. He was lifted after Todd
Hollandsworth reached on an infield single to put runners on
first and second with two outs.

"You hate to admit when you tired but after the fifth I kind of
hit a wall," Hermanson said. "We just haven't played in humidity
like this yet this year and it took a toll on all of us."

With the Giants holding a 3-0 lead, Alou went back to Brower,
and it appeared the move would backfire as gave up an RBI single
to Derrek Lee and walked Ramon Martinez to load the bases.  But
Brower got Paul Bako on a fly to center, preserving the Giants'
3-1 lead.

The Giants did all their damage with two outs, breaking on top
2-0 in the third. Cubs starter Greg Maddux gave up consecutive
two-out singles to J.T. Snow, Marquis Grissom and Pedro Feliz to
plate the first run and Grissom scored on a wild pitch.

Feliz's solo homer made it 3-0 in the fifth before the Cubs
began their comeback in the sixth on Lee's RBI single.
