An amazing, amazing comeback. Final Score: Cubs 10, Rockies 9.A fan leaps onto the field, just to say to Howry, "com'on, what are you thinking."
Alfonso Soriano finished off the latest wild game at Wrigley Field.
Soriano hit a two-run single in the bottom of the ninth inning to give the Cubs a 10-9 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night, setting off a wild celebration after Chicago's bullpen blew a five-run lead in the top of the ninth.
''A great win. You couldn't have scripted it any better. Clutch,'' Cubs manager Lou Piniella said.
Troy Tulowitzki hit a go-ahead, three-run homer to cap Colorado's six-run ninth.
''Just when you think you've seen about everything, you haven't seen everything,'' Rockies manager Clint Hurdle said.
After Todd Helton doubled in a run with none out in the ninth off reliever Scott Eyre, Bobby Howry (4-4) was greeted by consecutive RBI singles from Garrett Atkins and Brad Hawpe. Tulowitzki followed with a three-run shot to put the Rockies ahead 9-8. Howry is the Cubs' closer while Ryan Dempster is unavailable because of a strained oblique muscle.
After Tulowitzki's homer, a fan jumped onto the field from the roof of the Rockies' dugout and charged at Howry. The fan was just a few feet from the mound when security guards tackled him.
''As soon as I turned around the guy clotheslined him and took him down,'' said Howry, who hardly moved as the fan charged his way. ''He said, 'What are you doing?' I'm trying to give up home runs, what do you think?''
