Cubs blank Astros as Zambrano silences Houston
Carlos Zambrano dominated Houston over six innings at Minute Maid Park. The Cubs capitalized on four Astros errors, including two on one play in the fourth, to surge ahead 3-0 after Cliff Floyd and Mark DeRosa singled and Jacque Jones hit a sac fly. Geovany Soto's grounder led to another miscue, enabling DeRosa to score and Zambrano to add an RBI single. Astros manager Phil Garner lamented the lack of offense against Zambrano and sloppy defense.
