Hendricks Guides Cubs To Win, Cardinals Down Padres

Manager Joe Maddon is not concerned about the Cubs' lack of offense -- as long as they're still winning. Kyle Hendricks (4-4) allowed five hits, walked one and struck out six in 7 1/3 innings in Chicago's 2-0 win Sunday over the Miami Marlins.

Cubs starters have posted a 1.08 ERA over their past six games, in which the team is 5-1.

"As long as you can pull some of this ... magical stuff out while you're waiting for the offense to come I'll take it," Maddon said.

It was the 10th game in their past 12 games in which the Cubs have scored two runs or fewer.

Marlins starter Mat Latos (3-6) allowed one run, one hit and two walks in seven innings.

Cardinals 3, Padres 1

Rookie outfielder Tommy Pham has done almost everything right in his first three starts with the St. Louis Cardinals. His one regret: He's fallen woefully behind in answering the congratulatory text messages from friends and family after two impressive back-to-back performances.

"Just don't have the time right now," Pham said. "Eventually, I will get back to everyone."

Pham homered, doubled and drove in three runs, leading Lance Lynn and the Cardinals over the San Diego Padres 3-1 Sunday.

Orioles 9, White Sox 1

Back in the majors, Jonathan Schoop quickly made an impact. The Baltimore second baseman homered in his first at-bat since coming off the 60-day disabled list, connecting on the second pitch he saw Sunday as the Orioles routed the Chicago White Sox 9-1.

"As soon as it left the bat, I said, `Really?" Orioles manager Buck Showalter said.

Schoop was activated from the DL before the game after being sidelined by a sprained right knee since April 18. The homer was his first in the majors since April 15.

Adam Jones had two doubles, Steve Pearce had three hits and Miguel Gonzalez threw six solid innings. The Orioles snapped a three-game losing streak after they had scored six runs in their previous four games combined.
