Phils bounce back to earn split; Cubs' lead at 4.5

Results: The Phillies beat the Cubs 5-2 on Saturday and 5-3 on Sunday. The Cubs lead over the Brewers is now 4.5 games. Milwaukee swept the pathetic Pirates over the weekend.

What happened: Jayson Werth torched Cubs pitching all weekend. The Cubs left scads of runners on base both Saturday and Sunday. They hit practically nothing but singles all weekend. Carlos Zambrano missed his start Sunday with a "tired arm," but is supposed to pitch on Tuesday. Bleh.

Up next: Astros-Cubs today at 3 from Wrigley. Roy Oswalt vs. Jason Marquis. Milwaukee hosts the Mets.
