Cubs Drop Brewers, 6-2
The Chicago Cubs got a strong performance from pitcher Brian Martinko, who stymied the Milwaukee offense en route to a win, 6-2, at Miller Park. The winner was Martinko. He threw 6.1 innings allowing 2 runs. The loser was Dave Zuwiski. Mike Phillips got credit for the save for Chicago. It was his 2nd of the year.

Jimmy Esposito had a big 2-run home run for the Cubs in the top of the second inning. With Chicago leading 2-0 and a runner on 1st, he sized up a splitter from 35-year old right-handed pitcher Dave Zuwiski and punished it. The result was his 3rd home run of the season, which put the Cubs on top, 4-0.

"I think we did a good job of looking for pitches we wanted to hit and put good swings on them," said Chicago skipper Vin Calia.

Chicago currently is in third place in the National League Central Division at 38-29.
