They lost a Hundo last season it looks like the Chicago Cubs are going right back in that direction until they fix that Bullpen. Leading 5-1 heading into the bottom half of the 8th frame the Cubs were leading 5-1 with the game in tow but this is the North Siders so stay tuned.

The Braves touch the Cubs for crooked number in the 8th and 9th to get a 6-5 win. Cubs Reliever Fukijawa gave up three runs on four hits in the 8th as the Cubs still went into the 9th leading 5-4 then....Cubs had to go here. Cubs go to Carlos Marmol for I don't know what reason as he couldn't save himself let alone save a game for the Cubbies. B.J. Upton goes Yard! to tie the game at five. Then younger brother Justin goes 'Big Fly" in Center as well as the Braves get a Walk-Off job to beat the Cubs and Marmol 6-5. The Cubbies now drop to 2-3 on the season and the Braves move to 4-1.

The Cubs wasted a solid start by Carlos Villanueva who went 6 2/3 allowing six hits and striking out six while letting one run pass the dish. That one run was courtesy of Braves LF Justin Upton's Solo Job and his first of two as he also gets the walk-off job. The Cubs got to Braves Starter Julio Teheran as they put five runs on him in five innings and he allowed eight hits and two bombs by Cubbies Valbuena and Rizzo.

The Rubber Match will feature Aces Jeff Samardzija for the Cubs and Tim Hudson for the Braves on Sunday at 1:35pm ET.
