Kyuji Fujikawa suffered a blown save, only to end up with a win, after giving up three runs in the ninth Friday against the Giants.
Things could have worked out differently: Pablo Sandoval's bloop single to right may well have been caught if the Cubs hadn't been playing a no-doubles defense and Hunter Pence would have hit into a game-ending double play if Starlin Castro hadn't been slow to get it started. That said, Fujikawa wasn't all that impressive today, especially on the splitter he left up to Brandon Belt for a game-tying double. The closer's role is his for now, but he hasn't built up much job security yet.
