Chicago Cubs starting pitcher Ryan Dempster made one mistake on Tusday and that was all it took for the Houston Astros to beat the Cubs by the score of 4-2.  Dempster gave up a grand slam to Hunter Pence in the bottom of the fourth inning and that was all the Astros needed.

Dempster is now 5-2 on the season after taking the loss.  Dempster did throw six innings as he wasn’t pitching that bad he only made that one mistake.  Jose Ascanio who was just called up threw two scoreless innings in relief.  Ascanio was called up after Chad Fox was sent to the disabled list.

Aramis Ramirez had both rbi’s for the Cubs as he hit a two run home run in the fouth inning.  That was all the Cubs could get in the juice box which was kind of suprising.
