Ramirez's walk-off blast gives Cubs seventh straight win

<h3>CHICAGO CUBS 6, MILWAUKEE 5</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- Aramis Ramirez hit a walk-off, two-runhomer to lift the Chicago Cubs to their seventh straight victoryFriday, a 6-5 triumph over the Milwaukee Brewers in the openerof a three-game series.

Trailing, 5-4, with two outs in the ninth inning, Ramirez sent afirst-pitch offering from Brewers closer Francisco Cordero(0-2) over the left-center field wall.

Cordero entered in the ninth with Milwaukee clinging to a 5-3lead. After recording the first out, Alfonso Soriano and MikeFontenot hit back-to-back singles.

Derrek Lee plated Soriano with a sacrifice fly before Ramirezhit his 15th home run of the season and second since returningfrom the disabled list on June 22. Ramirez, who is batting .304this season, finished with three hits.

Bobby Howry (4-5) recorded the win after tossing a scoreless topof the ninth.

Brewers starter Yovani Gallardo continued to impress in hisfirst major league season, surrendering just two runs, five hitsand two walks while striking out seven in six innings. It was,however, the shortest of his three starts since being called upto the majors on June 18.

The 21-year-old Mexican has posted a 2.79 ERA with 19 strikeoutsover 19 1/3 innings thus far with Milwaukee.

Gallardo pitched three scoreless innings before Cliff Floyd'sgroundout in the fourth inning plated Lee. Ramirez scoredshortly thereafter on a wild pitch to cut the deficit to 5-2.

The Brewers jumped on Cubs starter Rich Hill early. With oneout, Milwaukee loaded the bases for Bill Hall, who drove in J.J.Hardy with a single as right fielder Cliff Floyd was unable tomake the catch. Johnny Estrada made it 2-0 with a sacrifice flybefore Kevin Mench belted a three-run homer to right, cappingthe five-run outburst.

The shot was Mench's third of the season and first since April24.

Hill was replaced after throwing 91 pitches in just threeinnings. The 27-year-old lefthander yielded five runs and fivehits with two walks and five strikeouts.

Ryan Braun went 2-for-5 for his fifth multi-hit performance inhis last eight games.
