CHICAGO, June 1 (UPI) -- Brett Myers hurled six innings of one-run ball Wednesday and the Houston Astros completed a three-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs with a 3-1 victory.

Sergio Escalona and Enerio Del Rosario combined for two innings of scoreless relief and Mark Melancon recorded his fourth save to nail down the victory.
Jason Michaels knocked a solo homer and Michael Bourn added a two-run single to provide Houston's offense.
Doug Davis (0-4) lost his fourth straight start since being brought up by the Cubs, yielding three runs on eight hits before departing after 6 1/3 innings.
Kosuke Fukudome smacked a solo homer for Chicago, which lost for the fifth time in six games.
