CHICAGO, July 4 (UPI) -- Todd Walker drew a bases-loaded walk with one out in the bottom of the ninth Sunday as the Chicago Cubs defeated the Chicago White Sox, 2-1.
Cubs starter Glendon Rusch allowed five hits over eight scoreless innings. LaTroy Hawkins (2-1) surrendered a one-out solo homer to Carlos Lee in the top of the ninth that forged a 1-1 tie.
Hawkins was charged with his fourth blown save in 15 chances and the 10th by the Cubs this season.
Shingo Takatsu (4-1) began his second inning of relief for the White Sox, but Moises Alou led off the bottom of the ninth with a single. Derrek Lee, who was 3-for-3 with a home run, sacrificed and Michael Barrett was intentionally walked.
Takatsu lost Ramon Martinez on five pitches and Walker batted for Rey Ordonez. Lefthander Damaso Marte replaced Takatsu and Walker battled the count full before Marte was low with ball four.
