Cubs try to continue winning ways vs. Rockies

May 30, 2008 - 1:53 PM Colorado (20-34) at Chicago Cubs (33-21) 2:20 p.m. EDT

CHICAGO (Ticker) -- After claiming the best record in the majors, the Chicago Cubs go for their fifth straight win when they continue a four-game series against the Colorado Rockies on Friday.

Geovany Soto's sacrifice fly plated Ryan Theriot in the seventh inning to snap a tie on Thursday as the Cubs recorded their fourth consecutive victory with an 8-4 triumph during the series opener.

Soto is hitting .299 with nine home runs and 37 RBI in his first season as Chicago's starting catcher while Theriot has been red-hot of late, raising his batting average to .317 with eight hits over his last eight games.

Ted Lilly (5-4, 5.23 ERA) tries to earn his fifth win in as many decisions when he toes the rubber for the Cubs on Friday.

The 32-year-old lefthander gave up four runs and 10 hits in six innings, but did not factor in the decision during Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Aaron Cook (7-3, 2.82) counters for Colorado after snapping a two-game losing streak with his first complete game of the season during Sunday's 4-1 victory over the New York Mets.
