Leiter Mows Down 15 Cubs
Led by an outstanding performance from starter Al Leiter, the Florida Marlins topped the Chicago Cubs today by a score of 8-2 at Wrigley Field. The 31-year-old Leiter brought his top game to the mound, striking out 15 batters while allowing 3 hits and giving up 3 walks.

"He made a lot of good pitches out there," Cubs manager Anthony Perez said. "He made some of our guys look bad. We didn't help matters, but we really have to give him credit -- he didn't make many mistakes."

Leiter has taken the mound for no relief appearances this season, nailing down no saves while notching a 8-7 record with a 3.67 ERA. The Florida reliever has limited opposing batters to a .199 batting average.
