| (MySportsbook) - Right-hander Carlos Zambrano can replicate a July masterpiece in August when the Chicago Cubs host the Cincinnati Reds in the finale of a three-game series today at Wrigley Field.

He walked none and struck out five in that triumph, which raised him to 13-9 with a 3.10 earned run average in 30 appearances -- 26 st |

Of course, Rick Sutcliffe won the NL Cy Young Award in 1984 for the Chicago Cubs after getting dealt by the Indians, thanks to a 16-1 mark in 20 starts.
