TORONTO, June 14 (UPI) -- Reed Johnson capped a four-run second inning Saturday with a three-run homer, helping the Chicago Cubs beat Toronto 6-2.
The Cubs' first run in the top of the second scored on David Eckstein's fielding error. Eckstein's error led to four unearned runs.
Chicago's Jim Edmonds and Mark DeRosa drove in one run apiece.
Derek Lee had three hits and Edmonds two for the National League Central-leading Cubs, who have won five of their last six games.
Winner Jason Marquis (5-3) surrendered an earned run and just four hits in seven innings.
Toronto's Matt Stairs and Lyle Overbay had one RBI each. Brad Wilkerson had two of the six hits for the Blue Jays, who opened the inter-league series at Rogers Centre with a 3-2 victory Friday night.
Losing pitcher Roy Halladay (8-6) was charged with six runs -- two earned -- and seven hits in five innings with a walk and five strikeouts.
