The Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 12-11 in the final game of the four-game series Thursday afternoon at Wrigley Field, which was one of the crazier up-and-down games of the season.
Brooks Raley started for the Cubs and allowed seven runs on ten hits while walking two batters and striking out two over four innings pitched. The Cubs then used four relief pitchers before Carlos Marmol came in as the Cubs' final pitcher and ended up earning the win today.

The Cubs were down six runs and tied the game and then fell behind 11-9 and then scored three runs in the ninth to walk-off with the win. Alfonso Soriano's deep RBI single drove home Starlin Castro who scored the winning run.
"Obviously our best win of the year," manager Dale Sveum said.
