Edinson Volquez gave up four runs over five-and-two-thirds innings to improve to 2-3. He also plated his first run of the season. Luis Valbuena and Starlin Castro both hit two-run homers for the Cubs, who have lost two-of-three.  David DeJesus and Cody Ransom also went deep in the setback.  Edwin Jackson was roughed up for eight runs and 11 hits in four-and-two-thirds frames as he fell to 0-4.
