CHICAGO, Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Starlin Castro drove in four runs and Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano homered in Chicago's seventh straight win Saturday, an 11-4 rout of the Cincinnati Reds.
Castro drove in a run with a force-out during the Cubs' go-ahead, three-run fourth inning and added a two-run double as Chicago scored five times in the fifth to put the game away.
Carlos Pena went 2-for-3 with three RBI and Alfonso Soriano added an RBI double among his two hits for the Cubs, who clinched their three-game series against Cincinnati.
Zambrano (9-6) belted his 23rd career homer -- a solo shot in the third -- and limited the Reds to three runs on six hits over six innings, overcoming four walks while striking out six.
Reds starter Johnny Cueto (7-5) was touched for five runs on seven hits, lasting only 3 2/3 innings.
Yonder Alsonso socked a solo homer and added an RBI single for Cincinnati.
Reds second baseman Brandon Phillips left the game with a sprained right ankle suffered during a fourth-inning collision with center fielder Drew Stubbs while tracking a pop-up.
