counting. trying to get over .500. came in at 12-12. three outs away. valbuena and soriano here in the ninth. cubs have had one base runner get past second. reached third. that's the only time he's had a conversation with one of his players out there on the field. len: a call strike three. valbuena looks befuddled. nine strikeouts for cahill. bob: a lot of late movement but it appeared to be up out of the strike zone high. montero pulled it down a good 10 inches to a foot. gets a call. len: that's a season high ninth strikeout. one off his career

high set back in 2010. len: back with you tomorrow at 3:00 central. diamondbacks, wgn. you hear the crowd cheering. bob just stood up to adjust his belt. bob: gets that kind of reaction. len: yeah.

bob: well-trained fans. noise now. len: couldn't get him to bite. len: sounds like me fishing all summer. couldn't get them to bite. len: season high in pitches. 117, cahill.

bob: no reason to throttle back. last start of the season unless he's dealing with some kind of physical issue. it still appears to be crisp good downward movement on the changeup. the sinker has been good all night long. len: probably will set a new career high in pitches thrown tonight. a walk after starting 0-2. bob: after the walk to rizzo, let's take a look at our budweiser play of the game. cahill has been the man tonight. we mentioned the nine strikeouts, gave up one line drive out, four fly ball outs. everything else has been pounded on the ground. mixed in just enough breaking pitchers to the right handers. chased some pitchers out of the zone. he's been on top of his game tonight. budweiser the official beer of the first inning.

great times are on-deck grab some buds. len: that's number 120. that's a new career high. this is his 128th career start. len: 0-1, swung on and missed. soriano has had a tough time with the breaking ball tonight. struck out in his first two at-bats. breaking pitches. bob: just the combination of pitches that cahill has out of the low 3/4 arm slot. his sinker has a lot of dive bombing movement down and in to a right-hander but right out of the same slot he throws that slider that sweeps exactly in the opposite direction. if you can't quickly pick up the rotation on that pitch, it will be a tough night. that was a hanger deep to center and it will be gone! just over the

yellow line! len: left it up and soriano hit his 32nd of the year and the cubs are on the board. career number 372. bob: loud and long. absolutely crushed. got just as good a look at that. this one just above the 413 mark just left of straightaway center and well gone. len: the pitching coach just made a visit.

len: strike and starlin castro. mike zagurski. bouncer to first. to the bag. two down. brian lahair will pinch-hit.

len: i know we probably make too big a deal out of pitch counts. 125 is not the end of the world, but you know gibson is hanging on every pitch at this point because his starter, through a full season is one out away from 200 innings. it's his final start of the year. off the end of the bat and it will be caught and that will end the game as trevor cahill with his third career complete game. will finish with 200 innings and the diamondbacks beat the cubs again. final tonight 8-2. >> coming up on wgn news an innocent victim to deadly gunfire is laid to rest. we'll take you to the funeral
