NL ROUNDUP \ Saturday's other games



Cubs 8, Cardinals 1
ST. LOUIS -- Jacque Jones hit a bases-loaded triple in Chicago's seven-run fifth and Carlos Zambrano pitched seven innings. Zambrano (2-2) is unbeaten against the Cardinals in his last eight starts, going 5-0 with a 1.54 ERA (58 2-3 innings) over that stretch. He ended a three-game winless streak by allowing one run and seven hits with two strikeouts. Jones had two hits in the fifth and went 3-for-4 overall with four RBIs. Derrek Lee continued his hot start for the Cubs, going 2-for-4 with an RBI. Lee has reached safely in all 23 games he's played and is batting .391 (36-for-92). Albert Pujols led off the seventh with his sixth homer of the season for St. Louis.
Astros 10, Brewers 1
HOUSTON -- Craig Biggio had a triple and three RBIs and Houston snapped a seven-game losing streak. Lance Berkman, Mark Loretta and Adam Everett each had two RBIs and the Astros shook out of an offensive slump with their highest run total of the season. Houston came into the game batting only .240 and had scored a total of 11 runs in its previous five games. Chris Sampson (3-1) struck out eight, his highest total in seven career starts.
Marlins 11, Phillies 5
PHILADELPHIA -- Dontrelle Willis won without his best stuff -- again. Willis struggled through 61/3 innings, Miguel Cabrera had a career-best five hits and Josh Willingham hit a three-run homer in Florida's 11-5 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night. Cabrera was 5-for-5 with four singles and a solo homer. Willis (5-1) allowed nine hits and five runs. He gave up five runs in a win over Atlanta on Monday, and has a 5.35 ERA in six starts. But the Marlins have averaged 8.2 runs when he's on the mound. Aaron Rowand extended his career-best hitting streak to 16 games and Rod Barajas homered for the Phillies, who got a poor outing from Adam Eaton (2-2). Eaton allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 41/3 innings. The right-hander hasn't lived up to his big contract, posting a 7.71 ERA in five starts. The Phillies gave Eaton a 24.5 million, 3-year deal, even though he'd never won more than 11 games in a season.
