The Cubs looked on top of their game in going 8-2 on their recently completed home stand.
It was a solid run for the team, with contributions from all around. Soriano has hit .525 in the last 10 games and sits on a 9-game hitting streak, with Sunday being the sixth straight game he has led off with a hit.
The Cubs lead MLB with a plus-71 run differential.
They now head to Houston (and Pittsburgh after that) to face a dangerously hot Astros team (7-3 last 10 games) led by all-world Lance Berkman, who leads the NL in HR, RBI, Runs, and Hits and sits behind only Chipper Jones (.410) in batting average at .399.
It would be nice if Lilly could start this off with a win. Look for newly called up Hoffpauir and Edmonds to see some action against the right-handed starters of Houston.
