Cesar Izturis hit a walk-off RBI single with two outs in the 11th inning to lift the Cubs to a win on Tuesday, after they rallied back from a 7-0 deficit in a game marred by six Chicago errors.

"We made a week's worth of errors in one game," Cubs manager Dusty Baker said.

Second baseman Freddie Bynum committed three that helped the Dodgers open a 6-0 lead after two innings. Gold Glove winners Izturis and Derrek Lee each made an error in the Dodgers' ninth that led to a tying run and forced extra innings.

"You won't see them make errors in the same inning ever," Baker said.

"That's baseball," Izturis said of the botched plays. "It's part of the game. It's nothing like getting a 'W.' We got it, so we have to come back tomorrow, and hopefully we'll do it again."

Hopefully, the Cubs can pick up a "W" without all the "E's." The last time they committed six errors in a game was on June 14, 1982, in a 12-11 win over the Phillies at Wrigley Field.

The game-winning hit came in the 11th inning. The Cubs had runners at first and second with two outs against lefty reliever Tim Hamulack and Izturis, whom the Dodgers traded on July 31 to Chicago for Greg Maddux, drove an 0-2 pitch up the middle to score Juan Mateo, who was running for Geovany Soto.

That's right, Mateo, one of the Cubs rookie pitchers.

"He was the only one I had," Baker said. "[Angel] Guzman would've [been it], but he's pitching [on Wednesday]. Big Z [Carlos Zambrano] has back [problems], or I would've used Big Z. I asked [pitcher Rich] Hill if he was faster than Soto, and he said 'No.'"

"I don't ever want to see him on the bases," Lee said of Mateo. "That's the slowest I've ever seen a human being run."

"He's a pitcher. He scored," Izturis said, shrugging.

This game was a mess. With the game tied at 7 in the Cubs' eighth, Ryan Theriot was safe at third when J.D. Drew couldn't catch up to a fly ball that dropped along the right-field line. Drew was charged with an error. Lee then hit a sacrifice fly to score Theriot.

But the Dodgers tied the game in the ninth, taking advantage of two Cubs' errors. Jeff Kent was safe on a fielding error by shortstop Izturis, and pinch-runner Kenny Lofton advanced on an error by Lee at first base -- the sixth by the Cubs in the game. Lofton scored when Russell Martin hit into a fielder's choice and a potential double play wasn't completed.

The plus side is that the Cubs overcame a seven-run deficit, the largest come-from-behind win of the season. The downside is that 39,401 saw one of the ugliest games ever.

"It wasn't pretty," Baker said, "but we won."

The Cubs overcame three errors by Bynum, who couldn't get a grip on the ball and made a bad throw to Lee on a potential inning-ending double play in the first. He took a relay throw from shortstop Ronny Cedeno, but Bynum's throw to first was wild for another error. In the second, Derek Lowe hit a high popup that Bynum called for, even though the ball was on the shortstop's side of second base. He dropped it, and Lowe was safe on the error. Rafael Furcal followed with his 11th home run of the year off the first pitch from Cubs starter Sean Marshall.

Bynum is the first Cub to commit three errors in a game since shortstop Shawon Dunston did it on May 9, 1997, against the Giants. Dunston was removed from that game in a double switch prior to the bottom of the seventh, and the Cubs went on to win, 5-3, in 14 innings. Bynum was lifted for a pinch-hitter in the sixth.

"The best thing to do is forget about it," Bynum said. "It's hard to forget about it, but you've got to go out there for eight more innings."

"I didn't say anything to him yet -- you leave him alone," Baker said. "I was contemplating taking him out, but that would've made it worse. He was in there, because I thought he had the best chance of hitting Derek Lowe."

Lee didn't say anything to Bynum either during the game.

"We played bad defense tonight," Lee said. "I had the slowest ground ball ever and I missed it, but we got the win which makes it OK."
