Casey Coleman’s first Major League start is a loss.
The 23-year-old right-hander pitched in Thursday’s matinee match in Wrigley Field. The Chicago Cubs lost 5-1 to the San Diego Padres for their third defeat in a row.
Coleman (0-1) only gave the Cubs 4.1 innings in which he was tagged with three earned runs and six hits, striking out one and walking three. He did not receive any run support from his teammates. The Cubs only scored one run in their last 19 innings.
Coleman gave up two runs in the first. Will Venable led off the inning with a single to shortstop but ...
Randy Wells is wondering what he needs to do to win a ball game.
Chase Headley’s first-inning groundout-RBI produced the only run in the game as the Chicago Cubs lost 1-0 to the San Diego Padres Tuesday night.
Wells (5-11), who was only tagged with one run in seven innings, had his best performance in recent outings.
In the month of August, he has conceded three runs in seven innings to the Cincinnati Reds. He gave up six earned runs each in two different outings. The right-hander has not won a game since July 23 against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Padres starter Jon ...

Cubs starter Tom Gorzelanny (6-7) took the loss and the first five runs of the Padres. But it was up to the bullpen to decide the winner of the contest.
Gorzelanny allowed ...

The Chicago Cubs ended their road trip on a positive note.
They may have been out of contention for a while, but playing the spoiler rule is still fun, especially with six more weeks of baseball left in the regular season.
They lost to the San Francisco Giants three games out of four earlier this week. But against the Cardinals, their biggest rival, they made sure to get the spoiler job done.
In today’s rubber game, they beat the Cardinals 9-7 to take the three-game series. With the loss, the Cardinals slide down to second position in the NL Central standings, ...
The long wait is over.
The Cubs fans have been wondering when Opening Day starter Carlos Zambrano could restore his Big Z-type performance. They got the answer today. In front of the national television audience and a crowd of 46,313 in Busch Stadium, Zambrano finally got his first win as a starter in his third return to the Cubs rotation.
He limited the Cardinals to two runs in 5.2 innings. Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez hit solo home runs in the contest to help the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2.
It was nearly two months ago when Zambrano (4-6) won ...
The Cubs starter Thomas Diamond suffered another short outing in St. Louis tonight. He only lasted four innings yielding four runs and six hits. In his previous match against Cincinnati, he was pulled after three frames.

The Cubs are even with the Cardinals in six matches so far this season (3-3).
They first met in a three-game series in Busch Stadium in the last weekend of May. The Cardinals had two convincing 7-1 and 9-1 victories sandwiched by a 5-0 shutout defeat.
The second time was also a ...
It’s déjà vu for the Cubs.
The one-run game has haunted the Chicago Cubs as they lost another, 8-7 to the San Francisco Giants, on Thursday afternoon. They have been defeated 30 times out of their 42 one-run games this season.
Young reliever Andrew Cashner gave up the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. They left San Francisco on a getaway day having lost 13 of their 16 games and five straight series.
The Chicago Cubs jumped on Giants starter Matt Cain in the first inning. Tyler Colvin and Starlin Castro started the game with back-to-back singles. Two outs later, Xavier ...
A victory is much needed for the ailing Chicago Cubs.
After the one-run walk-off loss on Monday and having lost four in a row, they finally added one to the winning column by defeating the San Francisco Giants 8-6 last night in AT&T Park.
The Cubs came out strong in the first inning, scoring four runs and adding two in the fourth and another pair in the eighth.
Their pitching has been miserable lately; only one pitcher was credited with a win in the last 10 days. That victory belonged to last night’s starter, Ryan Dempster. He pitched well enough, allowing three ...
