A day after seeing their 5 game winning streak come to an end, the Cubs rebounded with a 5-1 victory over the Pirates at Wrigley Field Friday afternoon. Geovany Soto had a couple of RBIs while Ronny Cedeno and Derrek Lee also drive in a run each.

Ted Lilly went 7 strong for his 11th win of the season. The Cubs try to take 2 of 3 Saturday afternoon as they send Carlos Zambrano to the mound against Ian Snell.
