Carlos Zambrano, Cubs steal the thunder in a 2-1 win over the Cardinals.

Albert Pujols takes Bob Howry deep in the 8th inning for his 300th career HR. However, Pujols' celebration is muted by Chicago's solid pitching. Zambrano goes 6 shutout innings, allowing 4 hits and 2 walks, while striking out 5.

The Cubs get their offense from a solo HR by Kosuke Fukudome in the 1st and Geovany Soto's shot in the 4th.

Starting pitchers:
Cubs - Zambrano
Cardinals - Brandon Looper

Winning pitcher: Zambrano (9-3)
Losing pitcher: Looper (9-6)
