LOS ANGELES, May 4 (UPI) -- Carlos Zambrano allowed one run over eight innings Wednesday, helping the Chicago Cubs handcuff the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1.
Zambrano (4-1) scattered five hits and a walk, while striking four. He yielded only a sixth-inning sacrifice fly by Jay Gibbons as the Cubs took the rubber match of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Marlon Byrd provided most of Chicago's offense with a three-run homer during a four-run uprising in the sixth inning.
Geovany Soto and Carlos Pena also provided solo shots in the Cubs' win.
Dodgers starter Ted Lilly (2-3) surrendered five runs on eight hits and a walk over six innings. He fanned four.
Andre Ethier, who is working on a 29-game hitting streak for Los Angeles, was held out of the game due to an inflamed elbow.
