Myers (11-7) allowed three hits and walked one, improving to 10-3 with a 2.21 ERA in 17 career games against the Cubs. The right-hander is 3-0 with a 1.76 ERA in his last six starts overall. Myers has lasted at least six innings in all 29 of his starts - the longest streak in team history and longest in the majors since Curt Schilling's run of 35 straight for Arizona in 2002. Surging Houston, which won for the 13th time in 17 games, took all five series against the Cubs this season. Randy Wells (6-13) allowed four runs and nine hits in six innings for Chicago. Myers retired the first 14 batters he faced. He got some help from his defense when second baseman Jeff Keppinger made a backhanded stop and a leaping throw to get Starlin Castro in the fourth inning. Geovany Soto walked with two outs in the fifth for Chicago's first baserunner and Alfonso Soriano followed with a single. But Myers got Darwin Barney to ground out to end the threat. Myers also worked out of a jam in the seventh, retiring two straight after the Cubs put runners on the corners with one out. He is 3-0 with a 1.21 ERA in four starts against Chicago this year. |
