The Cubs continue their good play today as they swept the Colorado Rockies with a 6-4 win today.  That is now the Cubs sixth win in a row and their highest winning streak of the season.  Now if we can just get those pesky Brewers to lose!  Oh yeah, they are coming to Wrigley for a three game series starting Friday.  HUGE series and the Cubs need to go atleast 2 out of 3 against the Brew Crew.

Mark DeRosa and Mike Fontenot both had homeruns for the Cubbies as they got out to a big lead early in the ballgame.  DeRosa finished the game with three RBI’s and Fontonet had one.  Angel Pagan and Ryan Theriot also chipped in with one RBI each.

Carlos Zambrano picked up his ninth win on the season.  Carlos has really came on in the last 6 ballgames and is pitching like the pitcher he really is.  Zambrano threw six innings allowing five hits and two earned runs.  He did have eight strikeouts and three walks also.

Billy Petrick made his Major League Debut today throwing 1.2 innings. He had a 1-2-3 inning in the seventh with two strikeouts in the inning.  He was clocked at 97 in the inning as well.  He did run into some trouble in the top of the eight inning as Garrett Atkins hit a two run homer off of him.  Will Ohman then came in and got the final out of the inning.  Carlos Marmol pitched a great inning in the ninth to finish off the Rockies.

GO CUBS GO!
