Zambrano shaky as Cubs drop series
Ace's first-inning struggles continue in homestand finale
Quote:
CHICAGO -- Nearly everyone has an opinion as to why Carlos Zambrano is struggling, including Cubs manager Lou Piniella.
Zambrano fell behind early as Jason Bay hit a two-run double to key a three-run first inning and added a solo homer in the Pirates' 6-4 victory Thursday over the Cubs.
Piniella talked to catcher Henry Blanco after the game, and they discussed some mechanical tweaks that Zambrano may need to make.
