 CHICAGO (AP) - Derrek Lee saw the pitch and was sure it was aimed at his head. He got out of the way the best he could. The ball clipped the back of his left hand, and sent him sprawling to the ground.
Walked slowly to first, he had words with San Diego pitcher Chris Young. He got a response he didn't like and took at swing at the right-hander.
Young swung back and a melee ensued Saturday, almost overshadowing a splendid pitching performance. Chicago starter Carlos Zambrano lost his no-hitter in the eighth and the game in the ninth, when Russell Branyan's solo homer gave the Padres an emotional 1-0 win.
