 CHICAGO (AP) - Derrek Lee homered leading off the 10th inning Wednesday, giving the Chicago Cubs a 4-3 victory over the New York Mets on a raw day at Wrigley Field.
Mark Prior allowed just two hits in seven strong innings for Chicago, but the Mets tied it at 3 on pinch-hitter Eric Valent's two-out single in the ninth off new closer Ryan Dempster (2-3). He blew his first save chance of the season, then got the victory.
Lee's 10th homer came on a 3-2 pitch from Heath Bell (0-1) and ended an 11-pitch at-bat. The Cubs, who won for only the third time in 11 games, took two of three from New York.
