Mark DeRosa figured it was going to be one of those days. The Colorado Rockies jumped out to an early 8-0 lead and seemed to be taking batting practice against the Cubs at Wrigley Field.

“Early on we were like, ‘It’s going to be rough,’ but the way the wind was blowing you never know. They got some runs on fly balls to left field as well. … We just happened to get hot at the right time.”

DeRosa’s two-run homer—Chicago’s fourth of the game—capped a six-run seventh inning as the Cubs rallied for a 10-9 victory Friday, their fifth straight win.

“I mean, unbelievable,” DeRosa said. “It was pretty special. I mean it was pretty ugly there early.”

Henry Blanco hit a two-run homer in the seventh—his first since 2006—and Jim Edmonds, who’d earlier hit his first homer as a Cub, delivered a two-run double in the rally.

I don't want to be the one to curse it, so I won't say anything other than they have played incredible and everyone has stepped up at one point or another.
