The Chicago Cubs have won four straight over the Arizona Diamondbacks for the first time. They’ll try to extend that streak Tuesday night with Carlos Silva on the mound when the teams continue a three-game set at Chase Field. Chicago has always struggled against Arizona, going 36-52 from that franchise’s 1998 inception through last season. After Arizona won the teams’ first meeting of 2010, however, the Cubs have responded with a total of 10 homers and 37 runs to easily take the next four. Starlin Castro and Geovany Soto each drove in two runs as part of an 11-hit performance by the Chicago lineup in a 9-4 victory Monday. Alfonso Soriano could be back in the lineup after he went 4 for 23 last week during a seven-game homestand. Soriano delivered a pinch-hit, two-run homer Monday, and is 8 for 12 with five homers and 12 RBIs over the Cubs’ last four games against Arizona.
Derrek Lee also did not start Monday after going 3 for 25 on the homestand. Aramis Ramirez returned to the Chicago lineup after missing two games with a sprained left thumb, and had a single in four at-bats. The Cubs will give the ball to their top starter in Silva, who is 0-2 with a 3.04 ERA while receiving four total runs of support in his last four starts - all team losses - after winning his previous six. Chicago won all 10 of Silva’s starts from April 16-June 7. The right-hander allowed two runs over 7 2-3 innings last Thursday in a 3-2, 10-inning loss to Cincinnati. Silva turned in his worst outing as a Cub on May 1 in a 7-5 win over Arizona, allowing a season-high five runs over five innings and not receiving a decision. The Diamondbacks have lost three straight since winning Kirk Gibson’s managerial debut last Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Arizona has totaled six runs in the three losses.
