dymnveide — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 09:25:11 +0000

MILWAUKEE, July 26 (UPI) — Chris Narveson and four Milwaukee relievers held Chicago scoreless after the first inning Tuesday, lifting the Brewers to a 3-2 victory over the Cubs.

Narveson (7-6) yielded a two-run homer to Aramis Ramirez in the first, but then settled down to hold the Cubs scoreless on eight hits over five innings, walking one and fanning three.

Kameron Loe, LaTroy Hawkins and Francisco Rodriguez each hurled a scoreless relief inning and John Axford pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for the Brewers, who remained one-half game out of first place in the National League Central.

Milwaukee erased the 2-0 deficit in the bottom of the first on Ryan Braun’s run-scoring double and a two-run triple by Casey McGehee.

Ryan Dempster (7-8) surrendered three runs on seven hits in a six-inning start for the Cubs, who dropped the first of a three-game set.

Last week, when pitching coach Larry Rothschild bolted the Chicago Cubs (honestly, finally) for the New York Yankees (honestly, seriously?) after a nine-year stint on ChicagoÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s North Side, IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m pretty sure that one name was the first to pop into most fansÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ minds as a potential replacement.

Chicago Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano is more effective with rest

teegmecewag — Wed, 22 Sep 2010 18:04:41 +0000

Mark Potash: The only thing I know about the validity of Carlos Zambrano’s September rebirth is that I have no faith in the Cubs to figure out whether they’ve discovered fool’s gold or the real deal. If they were that perceptive, they never would have been in this situation in the first place.
