CHICAGO, July 3 (UPI) -- Jake Fox drove in the game-winner Friday with a 10th-inning bases loaded walk, helping the Chicago Cubs edge the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1.

Fox went hitless, but his two-out walk was the third straight pass given up by losing pitcher Mark DiFelice (4-1), who also threw a wild pitch before walking Fox.

Starter Carlos Zambrano knocked in the other run with a fifth-inning single, while Ryan Theriot, Koyie Hill and Mike Fontenot all had two hits for the Cubs, who have won the first two contests in the four-game weekend series.

They won Thursday's opener 9-5 when first baseman Derek Lee homered twice, including a grand slam, and drove in a single-game career-high seven runs.

The winner was closer Kevin Gregg (3-2), Chicago's third pitcher.

Milwaukee's run scored on Corey Hart's fourth-inning bases loaded walk against Zambrano.

Six batters had one hit for the Brewers, who have lost five of eight against the Cubs this season.
