Stros go down meekly to Cubs to start long road trip
Aging superstar Greg Maddux made it seem like old times today as he handcuffed the Stros over seven innnings and led the Cubs to a 3-1 victory at Wrigley. The Stros have now lost eight of their last 11 games as they begin a 12 game, two week road trip, which is their longest of the season.
Hard luck Roy O (3-4) pitched well again as he continues to receive poor run support from his teammates. Ex-Astro Moises Alou's two-run yak in the sixth was the game winner, while Lance Berkman's ninth dinger in his last 13 games was the only offense the Stros could muster.
With Andy Pettitte going back on the disabled list today, the Stros' Brandon Duckworth makes the start tomorrow night at Wrigley against the Cubs Glendon Rusch.
