The Cubs got a big at-bat from center fielder Corey Patterson. For the game, Patterson was 1 for 4 with a home run. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 3rd, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 15th home run of the season gave Chicago a 2-0 lead.

"It's about putting our team in the best position to win ballgames," said Miller.

The Cubs now have a record of 68-67 with the win over San Diego.
