Yahoo! News - NL Wrap: Cubs Keep Wild-Card Lead with Win
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Derrek Lee's 10th-inning single scored Mark Grudzielanek with the winning run, clinching the red-hot Chicago Cubs a 2-1 victory over the host New York Mets in the National League Friday.

Grudzielanek drew a walk from Braden Looper (2-4) to lead off the 10th in his only at-bat. Their 13th win in 16 outings allowed the Cubs (87-66) to move 1 1/2 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants in the wild card race.

Another nail-biter. Where was this team earlier this year?
