Theriot's slam lifts Cubs over Marlins (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Ryan Theriot hit a grand slam in the sixth inning and the Chicago Cubs overcame Rich Harden's wildness to beat the Florida Marlins 8-6 on Friday. Theriot, a slap-hitting shortstop, pulled Burke Badenhop's 0-1 pitch into the second row of the left-field bleachers to give Chicago a 6-5 lead. It was Theriot's eighth home run and first grand slam in 1,351 career at-bats.
