Cubs homer past the Cardinals for a 5-0 win.

Chicago belts 3 homers to take the series opener, as St. Louis' lead over Cincinnati in the NL Central shrinks to 1/2 game. Randy Wells blanks the Cardinals on 5 hits over 7 innings with Sean Marshall adding 2 hitless innings of relief.

Tyler Colvin's 1st inning solo HR gets Chicago a quick lead. Giovanny Soto adds a solo HR in the 4th and then Alfonso Soriano pads the lead with a 2-run shot in the 5th.
