MLB: Chi. Cubs 6, Philadelphia 5 (10 inn.)

CHICAGO, April 13 (UPI) -- Ronny Cedeno scored the game-winning run on Chase Utley's throwing error in the top of the 10th inning Sunday when the Chicago Cubs beat Philadelphia 6-5.

The decisive play started when pinch-hitter Carlos Zambrano hit what appeared to be a double-play grounder to Phils' shortstop Eric Bruntlett. Cedeno scored after Utley's relay throw skipped past first baseman Ryan Howard.
