Cubs' Marquis welcomes start vs. Pirates
May 24, 2008 - 1:14 PM Chicago Cubs (29-19) at Pittsburgh 7:05 pm EDTPITTSBURGH (Ticker) - Chicago Cubs starter Jason Marquis tries to continue his dominance against the Pittsburgh Pirates when the teams continue a three-game series on Saturday.
Marquis (2-3, 4.96 ERA) has registered his only two victories this season against the Pirates, including last Sunday's 4-3 win. In that outing, he allowed just three runs - two earned - and four hits in six innings to snap a three-game losing streak.
In his first start against Pittsburgh on April 19, the 29-year-old righthander gave up only one run and six hits in six innings during a 13-1 victory.
Marquis should have a good chance of moving to 3-0 against the Pirates on Saturday as manager Lou Piniella is expected to go with his usual lineup after giving several starters - including outfielders Alfonso Soriano and Kosuke Fukudome - a couple days off this week.
The Cubs also have the advantage of matching up against Pirates lefthander Phil Dumatrait (1-2, 4.39 ERA), who has struggled with his control recently, walking 10 in his last 10 2/3 innings over his previous two starts.
