Cubs look to keep streaking vs. Nationals

May 5, 2007 - 12:46 PM Washington (9-20) at Chicago Cubs (13-14) 1:05 pm EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- A pair of Chicago Cubs will be looking to extend streaks when the Cubs host the Washington Nationals in the second game of a three-game series on Saturday.

Derek Lee will be trying to reach base safely in all 28 games thus far and Alfonso Soriano will be looking to extend his 13-game hit streak for the Cubs, who have won six of seven.

Meanwhile Rich Hill (3-1, 1.77 ERA) will try to build on a great start to the season.

Hill has pitched seven innings in each of his five starts and has allowed more than two runs just once. In his last outing Hill received a no-decision in a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh. The righthander allowed two runs and six hits in seven innings.

Hill will be opposed by John Patterson (1-4, 6.44), who earned his first win of the season in his last start. Patterson, who allowed one run and four hits in six innings in a 3-2 win over San Diego on Monday, will be trying to stop Washington's three-game skid.
