The rockets red glare and the bombs bursting in air are reminiscent of what the Nats did to the Cubs on Independence Day, 2007. Francis Scott Key wasn't there to see it, but the Nationals shelled the Chicago Cubs.
Rich Hill gave up six runs and ten hits, including a grand-slam homer. He lasted six innings.
Dmitri Young provided much of the fireworks, unloading his grand-slam homer in the fifth inning. The Cubs scored no homers and no runs over the course of nine innings.
The Cubs now drop to 42-42 in the Central Division. The division-leading Milwaukee Brewers lost to Pittsburgh.

Sunday
After losing to the Brew Boys on Saturday, the Cubs gave all of us a thrill by winning on Sunday. The main point in all this is that the cubs did not lose any ground to the Milwaukee heros.
Jason Marquis got the win and looked good doing it, giving up only four hits and one walk over seven innings. Aramis Ramirez looked good at the plate, as did Derrek Lee.
The Cubs now travel to RFK Stadium to take on the Washington Nationals. It would really be jolly if the Cubbies could sweep the series and the entire roadtrip and gain ground on the Brew Crew. But don't get your hopes up.
