With the St. Louis Cardinals continuing to surprise the National League, and the Chicago Cubs trying to persevere through a rash of injuries, the Cubs hold on to beat the San Francisco Giants 6-5.
The Cubs hope to have Carlos Zambrano back for this very important weekend series against the St. Louis Cardinals. The starting staff has been shaky at best, and the Cubs need their ace to return to form to anchor the rotation. With Alphonso Soriano out until the all star break, and Aramis Ramirez just returning to the team after a personal absence, the Cubs need some strong pitching to maintain their lead over St. Louis.
Sean Gallagher has a tremendous arm with a lot of potential, but his starting performances have been unpredictable. Gallagher starts tonight, and if he faulters he may be demoted to the bullpen. Look for Jeff Samardzija to be called up sometime after the all star break to help bolster the Cubs starting rotation. Samardzia has been impressive in his first two starts after being promoted to AAA Iowa.
