The Chicago Cubs got out to a 3-0 lead but then Jason Marquis gave up a two run home run and a two run double in the fourth inning as the San Diego Padres scored four runs and made those four runs holdup as they beat the Cubs 4-3.  It was a rainy night at Wrigley Field and the the Cubs saw their four game winning streak come to a stop.

Marquis lost again and is now 1-3 on the season.  Marquis gave up nine hits and four runs in only 5 2/3 innings of action.  Marquis just might see his spot in the rotation get skipped once again the way he pitched tonight.

Alfonso Soriano continues to heat up as he led off the game with a solo home run.  Reed Johnson then had a two run double in the second inning that gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead.  That was all the scoring the Cubs would do however as they didn’t get another run in the game.

The Cubs and Padres will battle once again on Wednesday night.  Cubs Blog
