DENVER , Aug. 10 (UPI) -- Jacque Jones had four hits and four RBI Thursday night and the Chicago Cubs ended a four-game losing streak with a 10-2 defeat of Colorado.
The Cubs had been winless since Alfonso Soriano tore a quadriceps muscle Sunday. Soriano is expected to be out for a month.
Chicago moved within a half game of first-place Milwaukee in the National League Central.
Jones singled in a run in the first, doubled home two more in the second and then singled in another run in the third. Matt Murton opened the Cubs' five-run third with a homer and Jones finished it off with his RBI as Chicago took a 9-1 lead.
Ted Lilly (13-5) lasted six innings while giving up two runs on five hits to get the win.
Ubaldo Jimenez (1-2) coughed up nine runs in just two innings for the Rockies.
