Cubs come back to tear Sox

Tough to top the Cubs' huge win against their intercity rival Friday.

Late homers by Aramis Ramirez, one in the seventh and the winner in the ninth, proved decisive in the 4-3 win. Kerry Wood pitched the ninth to get the win.

The Cubs were down 3-1 until Derek Lee and Ramirez smacked back-to-back jacks in the seventh.

The White Sox can look at one glaring statistic -- 16 men left on base. Another number they won't like is that the Cubs have won six of the past seven games between the two teams.

White Sox starter John Danks pitched a great game, allowing just one earned run in six innings. But the Sox's bullpen let him down, allowing three runs in two innings. (Ramirez hit his walk-off homer with no out in the ninth.) Scott Linebrink gave up the game-winner.

Jermaine Dye and A.J. Pierzynski went deep for the White Sox, who are four games up on the Twins and six and a half on the Tigers.

The Cubs are four games ahead of the Cardinals and six and a half up on the Brewers.
