Kerry Wood blew his third save of the season yesterday in Chicago’s 4-3 loss to Milwaukee.

When Wood entered the game in the ninth, the Cubs were up 3-1. Then Wood hit Craig Counsell with a pitch, gave up a double to Gabe Kapler, an RBI single to Jason Kendall, and a walk to Rickie Weeks, before getting his first out, a strikeout to Mike Cameron. The next batter was Ryan Braun, though, and he hit a two-RBI double to score Kendall and Kapler to put the Brewers ahead. Braun had knocked in Milwaukee’s other run in the game with a solo shot in the sixth off starter Carlos Zambrano. Braun’s now hitting .287 with 4 HR and 21 RBI. Eric Gagne then closed the game for the Brewers to earn his ninth save of the season.

Both Zambrano and Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo finished with a no-decision in the game, and despite the low score, neither quite dominated the opposing team. Zambrano went 6.1 innings to give up a run on seven hits and two walks, striking out three, and Gallardo went six to give up nine hits, a walk, and three runs, striking out four. Gallardo has yet to record a win or a loss in his three starts this season, though he is pitching well enough for a 1.80 ERA and 1.25 WHIP.
