Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30 (UPI) -- Randy Wells tossed a two-hit, complete-game shutout Monday and the Chicago Cubs dealt San Francisco a key loss with a 7-0 victory.
Wells (6-4) allowed only an Andres Torres double in the third inning and an Aubrey Huff single in the fourth, while issuing a single walk and striking out seven for the Cubs.
It was the right-hander's first career shutout and complete game over 77 career starts.
Blake DeWitt clubbed a three-run homer while Carlos Pena, Alfonso Soriano and Geovany Soto each added solo shots as Chicago took the opener of a three-game series.
San Francisco's Tim Lincecum (12-11) was tagged for five runs (four earned) on six hits over six innings for the Giants, whose playoff hopes took a hit as they fell five games behind first-place Arizona in the National League West.
