Jones, Cubs unleash frustration on Rockies in rout

<h3>CHICAGO CUBS 10, COLORADO 2</h3>DENVER (Ticker) -- Jacque Jones and the Chicago Cubs took out aseries worth of frustration against the Colorado Rockies.

Jones had four hits and drove in four runs as the Cubs blastedthe Colorado Rockies, 10-2, on Thursday to snap a four-gameskid.


Jason Kendall had three hits and two RBI as every starter exceptDerrek Lee recorded a hit for Chicago, which was just 2-for-33with runners in scoring position in a three-game sweep at thehands of the Houston Astros earlier this week.


Jones recorded an RBI single in the first, a two-run double inthe second and a run-scoring base hit in a five-run third inningas Chicago built a 9-1 lead and chased rookie Ubaldo Jimenez(1-2) from the game.


Mark DeRosa had a pair of hits and scored twice for Chicago(59-55), which moved within one-half game of idle Milwaukee(60-55) for first place in the National League Central Division.

The outburst was a welcome sight for the Cubs, who enteredhitting just .221 and scored just eight runs in the three gamessince Alfonso Soriano suffered a torn quadriceps on Sunday.

Ted Lilly (13-5), who entered the game 1-1 with a 9.39 ERAagainst Colorado, enjoyed the run support. The lefthanderallowed two runs and five hits in six innings but did labor,walking five and throwing a season-high 127 pitches.

One day after exploding on the Brewers for 19 runs, the Rockieshad the tables turned on them.


With Chicago already ahead, 4-1, in the third, Matt Murton ledoff with a solo homer as the first five hitters reached to startthe frame. DeRosa followed with a single and Mike Fontenot hitan RBI triple to center to make it 6-1.


Kendall drove in a run with a single and rookie Felix Piedoubled, chasing Jimenez.


Taylor Buchholz relieved Jimenez, who allowed nine runs - fiveearned - and nine hits in two-plus innings. Buchholz, who losthis spot in the rotation to Jimenez, allowed a sacrifice fly byRyan Theriot and a single by Jones to make it 9-1.

Kendall capped the scoring with an RBI triple in the fourth.

Jeff Baker homered in the second and Ryan Spilborghsadded a sacrifice fly in the fifth for Colorado (59-55), whichsaw its five-game home winning streak come to an end and fell 41/2 games behind Arizona (64-51) in the NL West.
