Biggio grounded out to third, 5-3

[CubColtPacer]

I'm not sure about Z going out here..but I don't want to completely exhaust the bullpen out either-and considering the bullpen pitched just as much as the starters on the road, those guys are getting way too many innings also. So I guess I hope Z gets this done near 110, and pull him before he gets to 120.

[Butterscup1679666578]

See you in the 8th, Z.
