Soriano goes deep as Cubs Retake NL Central Lead


Alfonso Soriano got the Cubs started with his swing and saved them with his arm Wednesday night as Chicago reclaimed first place in the NL Central with another dramatic victory.

Soriano hit a leadoff home run and made a great throw to preserve a tie in the top of the eighth. The Cubs then scored a strange, go-ahead run in the bottom half of the inning after Ken Griffey Jr. was injured to beat the Cincinnati Reds 3-2.
The victory, coupled with Houston's 5-4 win over Milwaukee, gave the Cubs a one-game lead.
