Cameron, Gonzalez shine as Padres rout Cubs

<h3>SAN DIEGO 11, CHICAGO CUBS 3</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The San Diego Padres let their bats do theswinging instead of their fists.

Greg Maddux picked up his 339th career win and Mike Cameron hittwo of the Padres' five home runs for an 11-3 victory over theChicago Cubs in the series finale on Sunday.

During Saturday's contest, things took a turn for the worst whenChicago's Derrek Lee was hit by a pitch by Chris Young,sparking a benches clearing brawl. Lee, Young and Padres aceJake Peavy were all ejected as a result.

But San Diego's offense did not give Chicago starter Rich Hillthe chance for revenge, as Gonzalez doubled and scored onCameron's two-run blast in the first inning.

The tandem continued to give Hill problems two frames later, asGonzalez stroked a two-run blast - his 14th of the season - andCameron followed with his eighth homer, giving the Padres a 5-1edge. Cameron homered twice in a 5-1 triumph at Petco Field onMay 22.

San Diego wasn't done just yet as Gonzalez delivered a two-rundouble in the fifth and came around along with Cameron on KhalilGreene's three-run shot, pushing the lead to 9-1.

Gonzalez finished with a season high-tying four hits and Cameronhammered out three.

Maddux (6-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings toimprove to 12-3 against his former club. The 41-year-old spenthis first seven seasons in the Windy City, winning his first offour Cy Young Awards here in 1992.

Chicago got two runs off Maddux in the sixth, when MichaelBarrett and Jacque Jones both recorded run-scoring doubles tocut the deficit to 9-3.

Hill lasted just three frames, surrendering five runs and fivehits for his first defeat at Wrigley Field since falling toMilwaukee on April 24. The lefthander is winless in threecareers starts against San Diego.

<h3>SAN DIEGO 11, CHICAGO CUBS 3</h3>CHICAGO (Ticker) -- The San Diego Padres let their bats do theswinging instead of their fists.

Greg Maddux picked up his 339th career win and Mike Cameron hittwo of the Padres' five home runs in an 11-3 victory over theChicago Cubs in the series finale on Sunday.

During Saturday's contest, things took a turn for the worst whenChicago's Derrek Lee was hit by a pitch by Chris Young,sparking a benches-clearing brawl. Lee, Young and Padres aceJake Peavy were all ejected as a result.

"I felt that both teams put (Saturday) behind us," Padresmanager Bud Black said. "I think both teams showed their<div class="pre">professionalism in how we handled the situation today. We just</div>played baseball the way it should be played."

But San Diego's offense did not give Chicago starter Rich Hillthe chance for revenge, as Adrian Gonzalez doubled and scored onCameron's two-run blast in the first inning.

"(Hill) was getting the ball up a little bit, "Cameron said."With the short porches out there, I thought I would take achance, and hit a couple of fly balls. The elements seemed towork in our favor."

The tandem continued to give Hill problems two frames later, asGonzalez stroked a two-run blast - his 14th of the season - andCameron followed with his eighth homer, giving the Padres a 5-1edge.

Cameron has been stellar against Hill this season, hitting twohomers in a 5-1 triumph at Petco Field on May 22. It was thecenter fielder's 12th career multi-homer game.

"I don't have the slightest idea why I hit Hill so well,"Cameron said. "I know I have had good success against leftieswho throw inside, like Hill and Randy Johnson."

San Diego wasn't done just yet as Gonzalez delivered a two-rundouble in the fifth and came around along with Cameron on KhalilGreene's three-run shot, pushing the lead to 9-1.

Gonzalez finished with a season high-tying four hits and Cameronhammered out three.

Maddux (6-3) allowed three runs and seven hits in six innings toimprove to 12-3 against his former club. The 41-year-old spenthis first seven seasons in the Windy City, winning his first offour Cy Young Awards here in 1992.

"It's been awesome for me to watch (Maddux) every day," Blacksaid. "His stuff is still good, he has movement and goodlocation. Anything he does doesn't surprise me."

Chicago got two runs off Maddux in the sixth, when MichaelBarrett and Jacque Jones both recorded run-scoring doubles tocut the deficit to 9-3.

"It's a lot easier to pitch in this ballpark when your teamgives you runs early," Maddux said. "The middle of our ordertook good care of me."

Hill lasted just three frames, surrendering five runs and fivehits for his first defeat at Wrigley Field since falling toMilwaukee on April 24. The lefthander is winless in threecareers starts against San Diego.

"San Diego has given me some problems this year," Hill said. "Iwill have to figure out what's going on against them."
