ANAHEIM, Calif., June 11 (UPI) -- John Lackey allowed seven hits in seven innings Friday night as Anaheim defeated the Chicago Cubs and Greg Maddux, 3-2.
Jose Guillen and Vladimir Guerrero drove in runs to key the Anaheim triumph.
Lackey (4-7) has been one of the bigger disappointments in the American League since winning Game 7 of the 2002 World Series as a rookie. He was 10-16 last season and entered this game winless in his last five starts.
He allowed two runs, walked just one and struck out six.
After Scot Shields struck out two in the eighth, Francisco Rodriguez cruised through the ninth for his fourth save.
The Cubs had a 2-1 lead entering the fourth, but Anaheim scored twice. Guillen drove in Guerrero with a triple and scored on a single by Casey Kotchman.
