Along with the rain and lightning, the Chicago Cubs unleashed a few big strikes of the their own.

Alfonso Soriano hit his 53rd career leadoff homer, Ryan Theriot connected twice and Geovany Soto went deep to lead the Chicago Cubs over the San Diego Padres 6-4 in a rain-shortened game on Wednesday night.
