Sean Gallagher : May 22nd, 2008, 1:00 am est
Cubs SP Sean Gallagher could not hold a 3-0 lead Wednesday against the Astros and took the 5-3 loss after a four-run third inning, highlighted by a Carlos N. Lee three-run homer. Miguel Tejada's grounder bounced off Gallagher's right shin for a run-scoring single in the third inning that made it 3-1. Cubs trainers examined Gallagher's leg after the hit, but he remained in the game and appeared to be OK. Lee's 10th home run scored Kaz Matsui and Tejada to put Houston on top 4-3. 'Gallagher's got a nice arm,' Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. 'He's got a better arm than I thought he had. Today he got ahead of hitters a lot, but he couldn't put them away. Of course that breaking ball to Lee is not so bad. Lee makes $100 million doing those sorts of things.'
