Cubs Sweep Pirates Out of Wrigley Derrek Lee and Ronny Cedeno each drove in three runs, and Carlos Zambrano won his career-high 17th game on Sunday to lead the Cubs to an 8-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates, completing a sweep and opening a 3 1/2-game lead in the Central Division.
The Cubs have a little more breathing room after the Milwaukee Brewers lost, 7-4, to the Atlanta Braves. The Cubs have six games left, all on the road, beginning Tuesday in Florida. The Brewers have seven games remaining, all at home. |
