MLB - Chicago Cubs/Pittsburgh Pirates Box Score Friday May 23, 2008 - Yahoo! Sports

Zambrano had four hits to go with a stellar seven innings on the mound and Reed Johnson hit a three-run home run and two doubles as the Cubs extended their mastery of division rival Pittsburgh by winning 12-3 Friday night.

The Cubs, who lead the NL Central, are 9-1 against the Pirates this season, 4-0 in Pittsburgh, and 12-1 in their last 13 meetings.

Zambrano (7-1) gave up two runs and six hits—he allowed seven hits and five runs, four earned, against Pittsburgh in a no-decision Sunday—and had a career day at the plate. His four-hit game was the first by a Cubs pitcher since Lew Burdette on July 23, 1964.

Zambrano’s 4-for-5 performance elevated his average to .343, which is higher than any Pirates starting position player.

You gotta love Big Z!!!

The Cubs have the Pirates number, which aint surprising considering we've faced them like 15 times already.

Yeah, I think it is safe to say that we love playing you guys! The Pirates have been surprisingly (at least to me) solid this month, 11-10 I do believe. Of course your 7 remaining games this month are against the Cubs, Cards and Reds... hope you win 5 of the 7
