CHICAGO (Ticker) -- If the rest of this interleague series is anything like the first game, fans in Chicago could be in for a thrilling weekend.
Aramis Ramirez hit a walk-off home run to lead off the ninth inning Friday, lifting the Chicago Cubs to a 4-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
The Cubs will be going for their 13th straight home win when they host the White Sox in the second game of a three-game set Saturday.
The White Sox have lost seven straight road games and are hoping to become the first team to win at Wrigley Field since the Pittsburgh Pirates posted a 7-6 victory on May 17.
Jose Contreras (6-5, 3.24 ERA) will take the mound for the White Sox, looking to snap a personal two-game losing streak. The righthander allowed four runs - three earned - in 6 2/3 innings during a 5-3 loss to the Colorado Rockies last Sunday.
The Cubs will counter with Jason Marquis (5-3, 4.24), who has won his last three starts. The righthander gave up one run over seven innings in the club's 6-2 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays on June 14.
Marquis will have to deal with White Sox outfielder Jermaine Dye, who homered in the series opener and has five blasts in his last five games. Dye also has 12 RBI over that span.
Since interleague play began in 1997, the Cubs are 31-30 against their cross-town rivals.
