ST. LOUIS -- Anthony Rizzo had a two-run single, Chris Rusin pitched around seven hits in six innings, and the Chicago Cubs recorded their first shutout in St. Louis in 16 years with a 3-0 victory over the Cardinals on Friday night. Rusin (2-1) twice worked out of bases-loaded jams and only set the Cardinals down in order in the first. He struck out a season-high five and issued two intentional walks. Kevin Gregg recorded his 24th save to complete the Cubs first shutout in St. Louis since Jeremi Gonzalez tossed one on June 23, 1997. Lance Lynn (13-6), attempting to become the National Leagues first 14-game winner, laboured over 6 2-3 innings despite giving up just three hits. He threw 115 pitches and was charged with all three runs. He struck out five, walked five and hit two. Chicago has won two of three, but only has three wins in its past 12. St. Louis has lost four of five and 12 of 16. The Cardinals have been shut out four times during that span and have scored three or fewer runs 10 times, despite getting 13 runs in two victories and 15 runs in a third. Lynns night ended after he plunked Cole Gillespie to load the bases in the seventh with two outs. Lefty Randy Choate came in to face the left-handed Rizzo, who singled to centre on a two-strike pitch to score Darwin Barney and Junior Lake and make it 3-0. The Cubs opened the scoring on Lakes two-out single that scored Welington Castillo, who walked to open the seventh. It could have been more. Starlin Castro was originally called safe by first base umpire Larry Vanover on a bunt that Lynn fielded and applied the tag. After a short argument from Cardinals manager Mike Matheny, the umpire crew gathered and reversed the call for the first out of the inning. Rusin twice intentionally walked Pete Kozma to load the bases with two outs and face Lynn. Lynn struck out in the second and ended the fourth with a grounder. Rusin was lifted for pinch-hitter Logan Watkins with runners at first and second with one out in the seventh. Watkins struck out. Jon Jay had three hits, including two doubles, for the Cardinals. Matt Holliday had two singles. Both managers tinkered with their lineups to try and boost their struggling teams. The Cubs used David DeJesus in the cleanup position for the first time in his career. DeJesus struck out to end the seventh with runners at first and third and finished 0 for 3, with a walk and a hit-by-pitch. The Cardinals moved David Freese to second in the order for the first time this season. He had a single in four at-bats. NOTES: St. Louis pinch-hitter Daniel Descalso was ejected soon after arguing about a called third strike. Matheny came out to argue the ejection and was also tossed. ...

So did Rubby De La Rosa. Gordon had three hits, De La Rosa pitched five effective innings and the Los Angeles Dodgers beat the Philadelphia Phillies 6-2 Tuesday night. "Its a great feeling," said Gordon, the speedy shortstop and son of former major league pitcher Tom Gordon. De La Rosa (2-0) allowed one run, constantly having to pitch out of trouble because he walked five and gave up four hits. Matt Kemp hit a two-run homer for the Dodgers, whove won six of nine. Roy Oswalt (3-4) lost his fourth straight decision. Oswalt allowed four runs and eight hits in six innings to remain winless since April 21. The NL East-leading Phillies have lost five of seven. "We didnt deserve to win the game," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "Weve got to play better." Gordon used to hang out in the Phillies clubhouse when his father played here from 2006-08. He made his major league debut as a pinch runner and scored in the ninth in a loss Monday night. Gordon got some advice before the game from Jimmy Rollins. Then he went out and played like the old J-Roll, the 2007 NL MVP. "He just told me to play hard, go up there and believe in yourself," Gordon said. "Thats all I can do. Its fun to go out there and compete." With his dad sitting behind the Dodgers dugout, Gordon led off the game with a single and singled in his next two at-bats. He scored a run, stole a base and finished 3-for-5. "It was nice for him to get out of the gate with a couple hits," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Hes going to be exciting. Hes a guy thats fun to watch." De La Rosa made three relief appearances before getting his first start. He settled in after battling control issues in the early innings. "I stayed back and focused on throwing strikes," he said through an interpreter. "I was trying to throw every pitch on the black and the ball started cutting on me. I kind of started focusing on throwing to the catchers mask.dddddddddddd" De La Rosa got the Dodgers started in the third with a walk. After Gordon singled, Casey Blakes RBI single gave Los Angeles a 2-1 lead. Gordon scored when Oswalts pickoff throw to first sailed wide for an error. Andre Ethier followed with an RBI single to make it 4-1. Ethier saved a run when he threw out Raul Ibanez trying to score from second on Wilson Valdezs single to right in the third. The Phillies got within 4-2 on Chase Utleys RBI triple off Scott Elbert in the seventh. Kemp connected off Michael Stutes in the eighth, hitting an opposite-field shot to right. Kemp is tied with Cincinnatis Jay Bruce for the NL lead with 17 homers. He finished the game leading the league with 50 RBIs. Dioner Navarros RBI single in the second gave Los Angeles a 1-0 lead. Kemp led off with a double. He shouldve been doubled off second when Juan Uribe lined out to second baseman Utley, but his throw to shortstop Valdez was wide. After James Loney walked, Navarro lined a hit to left. The Phillies loaded the bases in the bottom half on two walks and a single. After Oswalt struck out, Shane Victorino grounded into a fielders choice back to the mound. But De La Rosa walked Placido Polanco to force in a run. Rollins missed his third straight start with a bruised right knee, but lined out as a pinch hitter in the ninth. Notes: Former Phillies closer Brad Lidge got good news on his injured elbow after being examined by the team physician. Lidge has no serious damage and received a cortisone shot.
