CHICAGO (AP) — Alfonso Soriano hit two of Chicago’s four homers and had five RBIs as the Cubs continued their late-season power display, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 9-5 Saturday to solidify their lead in the NL Central.

The Cubs began the day with a 11/2-game lead over Milwaukee, which played later at Atlanta.

Aramis Ramirez, who had two homers Friday, added another and Derrek Lee also went deep as the Cubs hit four homers for the second straight game.

Mets 7, Marlins 2

MIAMI (AP) — Oliver Perez pitched eight innings, Moises Alou extended his hitting streak to a team record-tying 26 games and New York strengthened its hold on the NL East by beating Florida.

New York’s magic number to clinch division was seven with eight games to play.

" These potato patties are pretty quick and good. Microwave them until they aren't cold anymore then, set them on the pancake grill to make them crispy. Add ketchup, toast, honey, sausage and an omelet. The best part of your day is about to be savored. "

" Your account of Richard Barlow's ordeal is appreciated. Whistleblowers also include people, like myself, that worked for those that were foreign nationals and by trusting U. S. government employees, brought disaster to themselves. Meanwhile, the Department of Defense made demands on foreign governments to stop proliferators. Thanks to Adrian Levy's recent book, I heard about Richard Barlow and I heard about the lying to Congress. Now I understand why my life was trashed. Perhaps someday my son will forgive me. "
