As bad as he was in his first start 5 days ago, as dominating Jeff Fassero was tonight. Complete game shutout, 5 hits allowed, 1 walk and 5 strikeouts. The offense scored 6. We had to wait for the 5th game to show, but tonight, “Nos Amours” finally looked like the team we expect so much from this year.
Anthony Young pitched 5 scoreless inning before Moises Alou pushed Sean Berry to the plate with a 2 outs double in the six. On the play, Mike Lansing got thrown out at the plate by center fielder Willie Wilson.
Not only did he pitch nine shutout innings, but Jeff Fassero produced 3 runs with a 2 outs bases loaded double in the 7th to extend Montreal’s lead to 4.
3 consecutive doubles from Lansing, Alou and Walker in the 8th put the game out of the Cubs’ reach.
