    Casey McGehee was in awe of Kerry Wood's fastball while the two were with the Cubs when McGehee was still a prospect in 2004.

    McGehee can catch up with the veteran reliever's hardest pitches now. He delivered a pinch-hit, two-run homer with two outs in the eighth inning off Wood and the Milwaukee Brewers rallied to beat Chicago 6-5 on Sunday.

    "It was kind of a weird feeling," said McGehee, who said he looked up to Wood while the two were in the Cubs' organization. "By no means was I going up there looking to hit a ball out of the ballpark."

    Prince Fielder and Ryan Braun each hit a two-run homer for Milwaukee, which has won five of six after an 0-4 start.

    This was the Brewers' most dramatic win this season.
