CHICAGO (AP) - Ryan Theriot hit a bad-hop single with two outs
in the 10th inning and the Chicago Cubs, saved by Derrek Lee's late
homer, rallied from an early seven-run deficit to beat the
Cleveland Indians 8-7 Friday.

Lee homered twice, including a solo shot with one out in the
ninth off former Cubs ace Kerry Wood that made it 7-all.

Alfonso Soriano, who hit a game-winning single in the ninth
Thursday to beat the Chicago White Sox, drew a two-out walk in the
10th from Luis Vizcaino (1-3). Soriano then stole second and
Theriot followed with a grounder that took a crazy bounce past
first baseman Victor Martinez.

The Cubs trailed 7-0 going into the fifth and were still down
7-2 in the eighth.
