Derrek Lee and Padres pitcher Chris Young traded missed punches in the fourth, after Young hit Lee with a pitch to start the inning. Both players were ejected, as were Cubs hitting coach Gerald Perry and Jake Peavy. The teams congregated behind home plate, and after some shoving and minor contact, the game continued. The Cubs' hitting attack, however, never really started. Chicago managed just two hits, a pair of doubles by Mark DeRosa and Ryan Theriot. Both came against Justin Hampson, Young's replacement. Aside from those two hits, Hampson, Heath Bell (1-2) and Trevor Hoffman (19th save) were perfect through their six innings, continuing San Diego's bullpen success. "We just didn't get to their staff at all," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. |
