Game Story

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The Chicago Cubs appeared to receive a gift 
from first base umpire Mark Wegner leading off the bottom of the
ninth.  Corey Patterson made sure they did not fail to take
advantage.

Patterson's two-out, two-run homer off Luis Vizcaino as the Cubs
posted a 4-2 triumph over the reeling Milwaukee Brewers, whose
season-high skid reached eight games.

After Chicago closer LaTroy Hawkins failed to close out a 2-1
lead in the top of the ninth, Mark Grudzielanek led of the
bottom of the frame with a fly ball that appeared to land just
foul down the right field line.  But Wegner ruled the ball fair,
and Grudzielanek reached third on Brady Clark's throwing error.

"I'd say it was at least one baseball foul," Clark said. "That's
what I saw and I saw what I saw - it was foul.  It's a shame to
go down like that when the umpire blows a call."

"It's hard to tell with the bullpen out there and other stuff
out there," Grudzielanek said.  "It was coming down and the wind
was blowing back towards fair, so all you can do is keep
running there."

Brewers manager Ned Yost came out to protest the call but was
ejected.

"He said it was on the line, but I don't know what line he was
looking at," Yost said.  "That's a very good umpiring crew that
was out there but Mark just missed a call.  But that did not
beat us."

Vizcaino (4-4) appeared as if he would get out of the jam after
inducing Paul Bako and Todd Walker to pop out, but Patterson
secured the Cubs' seventh win in eight games with his 18th
homer, a shot that easily cleared the wall in right field.

"I got two strikes on me and just said, 'Try to step out and
take a couple of deep breaths,'" Patterson said.  "He just threw
a ball in the zone that I liked.  It was down ... and I was
able to get a good swing on it."

Hawkins (3-4) allowed a leadoff single to Trent Durrington in
the top of ninth but appeared as if he would record his 20th
save in 25 opportunities after retiring Craig Counsell and Brady
Clark.  But Chris Magruder hit a double past Sammy Sosa into
the ivy in right-center, allowing Durrington to score the tying
run.

Moises Alou - who had a career-high six RBI in Tuesday's 13-4
victory - homered for the 32nd time this season with two outs in
the bottom of the eighth, sending a pitch from Vizcaino just
over the fence in left field to give the Cubs a 2-1 lead.

Chicago starter Greg Maddux, who entered the game 3-0 against
the Brewers this season and 10-2 in his career, yielded one run
and four hits in eight innings, striking out eight and walking
one.

Brewers counterpart Doug Davis allowed one run and six hits in
seven innings.

"Just pretty much been the same the last three or four starts,"
Davis said.  "It's frustrating, the guys have been battling
their (tails) off and he we haven't got any breaks.  Everyone
saw that ball go foul, but it's an example of how everything
just keeps going wrong."

The Brewers took a 1-0 lead on Clark's RBI single in the fourth
before Bako evened the score one frame later on his first homer
since July 7, 2002.

"Just happy to get it at this point, an inside-the-park (homer)
would have done it for me," Bako said.  "But it's good to
contribute and help out getting a big win."
