Game Story

ANAHEIM, California (Ticker) -- Pitted against a future Hall of 
Famer, John Lackey flashed some of his substantial potential.

Lackey allowed seven hits in seven innings and Jose Guillen and
Vladimir Guerrero drove in runs as the Anaheim Angels did enough
against Greg Maddux to edge the Chicago Cubs, 3-2.

Lackey (4-7) has been one of the bigger disappointments in the
American League since winning Game Seven of the 2002 World
Series as a rookie.  He was 10-16 last season and entered this
game winless in his last five starts.

The 25-year-old righthander allowed two runs, walked just one
and struck out six.  He improved to 4-1 in six interleague
starts.

"I think a pitcher has a little of an advantage in these
interleague games, because a lot of the guys will take a couple
of pitches until they know what you got which gives you the
opportunity to get ahead in the count," Lackey said.

"I didn't notice anything different from him when I saw him
pitch against us in Game Seven," said Cubs manager Dusty Baker,
who managed San Francisco against Lackey in the 2002 World
Series. "He still has good command and works the zone well."

After Scot Shields struck out two in the eighth, Francisco
Rodriguez cruised through the ninth for his fourth save in seven
opportunities.

"I like coming in to close out the game, I have more adrenaline
being the closer," Rodriguez said. "I like it more and have more
fun."

"Rodriguez's stuff is just electric, and he's going to be a good
closer some day," Baker added.

Chicago led 2-1 entering the fourth, but Anaheim scored twice.
Guillen plated Guerrero with a triple and scored on a single by
rookie Casey Kotchman.

"I got a pitch up in the zone and was able to hit it off the
wall," Guillen said. "The ball just seemed to keep carrying.
Maddux is a great pitcher and it's just good to get a key hit in
the game to help our team, but it's better against a guy like
Maddux."

"Guillen hit the ball good off of me, I left the pitch up more
than I wanted to and hit it off the wall," Maddux said. "They
got the big hit when they needed to, and we came up a little
short."

Maddux (5-5) remained stuck on 294 career victories.  He allowed
three runs and seven hits in seven innings, did not walk a
batter and struck out six.

"Maddux is one of the best pitchers ever, and for me to just go
out and get the win over him is a good feeling," Lackey said. "I
have a lot more to do in my career to even be mentioned in the
same sentence as him."

Maddux was impressed with Lackey's stuff.

"Lackey looked like he had a lot of his stuff working for him
tonight, and mixing his pitches well to keep our hitters
off-balance," Maddux said. "He is a tough young pitcher, and if
he keeps working hard he'll be a top pitcher in the game."

Todd Hollandsworth had two of the Cubs' seven hits.
