ATLANTA, April 11 (UPI) -- Kerry Wood struck out 11 over seven innings and Michael Barrett drove in four runs Sunday as the Chicago Cubs routed the Atlanta Braves, 10-2.

Wood allowed three runs while striking out 18 in 15 1/3 innings against Atlanta in last season's Division Series.
Barrett had a sacrifice fly in the second inning and added a three-run homer in the eighth. Corey Patterson, Alex Gonzalez and Moises Alou also homered for the Cubs.
