The Chicago Cubs lost to the Colorado Rockies 4-2 on Thursday afternoon and their six game winning streak is over.  The Cubs had tied the game up in the eigth inning, but then allowed two runs in the bottom of the inning.  The cubs were almost out of the inning but Ronny Cedeno and Ryan Theriot were unable to turn an inning ending double play.

Kevin Hart took the loss for the Cubs as he pitched the eigth inning.  Starting pitcher Jason Marquis pitched ok as he went seven innings and allowed eight hits but only one run.  Marquis should have seen a better result then a no-decision but sometimes that is just how it goes.

Felix Pie and Mike Fontenot both had one RBI each at the plate.  Pie went 2-3 and had half the Cubs hits who could only mange four hits the entire game.

Now the Cubs will fly to Washington D.C. to start a weekend series with the Washington Nationals.
