Our pitching wasn't lined up how I would have wanted it to be, so Carlos Perez got the Game 1 start taking on Chad Ogea of the Cubs. Perez lasted 7 1/3 innings and allowed 3 runs in a good start. Even more surprising our bullpen pitched 1 2/3 scoreless innings to shut the door on the Cubs.
Curtis Goodwin was ejected in the first inning for arguing balls and strikes, and his replacement, Ruben Rivera was 3-3 for the night.
Derek Jeter and Sammy Sosa hit back to back home runs in the third inning which accounted for our only runs of the game. The Rockies now lead the Cubs by 1 game.
