A day after being shellacked by the Arizona Diamonbacks, the Cubs bounced back behind a sterling performance from rookie Randy Wells and shoutout the D-backs 5-0 earlier this afternoon. Wells struck out 10 while allowing only three hits over seven innings or work. Reed Johnson hit a two-run triple in the fourth and Geovany Soto doubled in Johnson to give the Cubs a 3-0 lead; Soto would add another RBI in the sixth. The two teams do it one more time, closing out the regular season tomorrow afternoon at 1:20 p.m. (CSN).
