Fresh off hitting his first career pinch-hit homer, Kosuke Fukudome returned to the lineup and went 3-for-4 with four RBIs. Not to be outdone, Aramis Ramirez hit his third three-run homer in as many games. Their heroics were part of a 17-hit barrage that included an RBI single by Ted Lilly, who threw seven solid innings for the win.
