<div class="pre">Houston (61-75) at Chicago Cubs (69-65) 2:20 pm EDT</div>

CHICAGO (Ticker) - The Chicago Cubs look to extend their lead inthe National League Central and earn a much-needed series winover the Houston Astros on Sunday.


Aramis Ramirez hit a two-run homer and Derrek Lee blasted a soloshot in a 4-3 win on Saturday. Chicago, which has lost four ofseven games, holds a slim 1 1/2-game lead over the MilwaukeeBrewers (68-67) and a two-game lead over the St. Louis Cardinals(66-66).


Rich Hill (8-7, 3.68 ERA), who is unbeaten in his last threestarts, takes the mound for the Cubs. The lefthander is 2-0with a 2.57 ERA during that span. On Tuesday, Hill allowedthree runs and seven hits in seven innings with nine strikeoutsin a 5-3 win over Milwaukee.


In his only start against Houston, Hill was outstanding,allowing just one run and three hits in seven innings, butreceived a no-decision in a 2-1 loss in 10 innings on August 6.

Meanwhile, Houston has been playing well under interim managerCecil Cooper, having won three straight before Saturday's loss.

Woody Williams (8-13, 5.04) gets the ball for the Astros andwill try to bounce back from a poor outing. Williams, who is3-8 with a 5.09 ERA in 15 road starts, allowed six runs andeight hits in 4 1/3 innings of a 9-4 loss to St. Louis onTuesday.
