MLB: Chi. Cubs 7, Chi. White Sox 4

CHICAGO, May 21 (UPI) -- Michael Barrett tied the game with a triple and Jacque Jones hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the eighth inning Sunday as the Cubs beat the White Sox, 7-4.

Barrett's triple off Neal Cotts (0-2) scored Todd Walker to tie the game at 4-4. Jones put the Cubs ahead with a homer to left, and the Cubs added an insurance run in the ninth on Ronny Cedeno's RBI single.

Carlos Zambrano (3-2) got the win, allowing four runs on four hits with three walks and nine strikeouts in seven innings.

Zambrano had to be restrained by teammates in the bottom of the fourth, after White Sox catcher A.J. Pierzynski hit a home run and mocked Zambrano by imitating his signature gesture -- pointing to the sky. Zambrano shouted at Pierzynski, but his teammates prevented him from going any further than that.

Aramis Ramirez hit two home runs, Cedeno had two hits and Ryan Dempster pitched a scoreless ninth to record his eighth save of the season for the Cubs.

Paul Konerko recorded his second multi-homer game of the season and Pierzynski went 2-for-3 with two runs scored for the White Sox.
