Both the first-place Cubs and the first-place White Sox got scares late in their wins over wild card challengers. The Cubs, up 4-1 in the ninth, saw Kerry Wood serve up a two-run homer to Ryan Ludwick, cutting the lead to 4-3. Wood still got out of the jam.
The White Sox entered the nith with a 6-2 lead, but only prevailed by one thanks to a three-run frame from Bobby Jenks.
Both were close shaves, but Wood gets a save and Jenks preserves the win. Both teams remain in first place. It's nice to still come away with a win, even when your closer throws a clunker.
