The Cubs got off to a fast start in Houston last night, tagging Astros starter Wandy Rodriguez for five runs, capped by a three-run home run by Alfonso Soriano.

Zambrano gave up five runs in 5-2/3 innings, but his solo home run in the top of the sixth inning provided the margin to earn the victory. It was Zambrano's 22nd home run of his career, extending his Cubs record for home runs by a pitcher. more ›
