Chicago narrowly avoided a skirmish in the sixth when Ted Lilly drillled Yunel Escobar. The game itself wasn't as close.
The Cubs continued their recent trend of scoring early and often. In sweeping the Braves, they managed 29 runs. They also managed to win their fifth series in a row and extend their lead to 4.5 games.
Other than trying to pick a fight, Lilly piced up his twelfth win while racking up eight strikeouts.
Aramis Ramirez had three runs batted inn to lead the way for Chicago. Fukudome, hitting second picked up two hits for the second consecutive game. Derek Lee had a pair, making our 3,4,5 hitters 6 of 12 on the night.
The Cubs head to Florida with their longest road win streak since 1945. They have five more to go to beat that mark.
