The early lead didn't help the Chicago Cubs too long yesterday. After a short lead at Cincy being up 4-0. This time the bullpen wasn't at fault on the road. Carlos Pena nailed a 2-run homer to deep right field. In the 6th inning Zambrano struggled to get outs. That's the key thing in the whole game. He didn't get out of the inning. He got banged around by Reds' from front to bottom.
Darwin Barney did well for the offense, going 3-for-4 with a RBI. He's hitting .345 with 18 RBIs. There was not much else from the rest of the lineup who went cold after 5-6 innings. They didn't find a groove for their needed rally. Carlos Zambrano failed to hold it allowing 6 earned runs on 6 hits and 3 walks. As a result he falls to 4-2 on the season. The Cubs face the Reds once more before heading to Florida for a 3-game series. It's up to the bats to turn everything around.
