A series against the Chicago Cubs may be what the stumbling San Francisco Giants need to get back on track, but they probably aren’t looking forward to facing Carlos Zambrano. Zambrano makes his first start in more than a month as the volatile right-hander leads the Cubs into a four-game road series against the Giants on Monday night. San Francisco has scored nine runs while dropping four of five and trails NL West-leading San Diego by two games while leading Philadelphia by one-half game for the wild card. The Giants lost three of four at Atlanta over the weekend, falling 6-3 on Sunday. The struggling offense could get some help by facing the lowly Cubs, who have lost 10 of 11 and were swept by Cincinnati over the weekend. Chicago has a 7.47 ERA over those 11 games, losing 11-4 on Sunday.

While his team isn’t in a playoff race, Zambrano is still facing a lot of pressure as he tries to redeem himself during what has been a disappointing season. Zambrano got into an altercation with Derrek Lee during a June 25 dugout meltdown and was placed on the restricted list while he underwent anger-management therapy. The right-hander has made three relief appearances since being activated, giving up two runs and six hits in 3 2-3 innings. His return to the rotation comes because Chicago is short-handed after Ted Lilly was traded and Carlos Silva was placed on the 15-day disabled list. Zambrano, the Cubs’ opening day starter who was demoted to the bullpen in April after struggling in his first four starts, told the team’s official website he is eager to return to form.
