CHICAGO -- Carlos Gomez broke a scoreless tie in the ninth inning with an RBI single and Jeff Bianchi added a two-run double to lift the Milwaukee Brewers over the Chicago Cubs 5-0 on Monday night. The Brewers, sitting in last place in the NL Central, won for the third time in eight games and ended the Cubs winning streak at three games. Brewers reliever Brandon Kintzler (3-0) pitched a scoreless eighth for the victory. Cubs reliever Pedro Strop (1-1) gave up the single to Gomez on an 0-2 pitch and Jean Segura easily scored from second to give the Brewers a 1-0 lead. With one out and the bases loaded, Bianchi gave the Brewers insurance with a double to right to score two more runs and Rickie Weeks also added a two-run double as Milwaukee batted around in the ninth. On a cool July night, the Cubs opened an eight-game homestand with a little different look. Left fielder Alfonso Soriano and pitcher Matt Garza were both traded while the Cubs were on a 10-game road trip as team president Theo Epstein continues the rebuilding process. In his Wrigley Field debut, left fielder Junior Lake was 2-for-4, breaking out of an 0-for-14 slump. Neither starter factored into the decision despite strong outings. Brewers starter Kyle Lohse pitched six innings. He pitched around five hits and three walks with six strikeouts. Lohse has only allowed one run in his last 19 innings. Cubs starter Jeff Samardzija pitched seven innings, allowing just three hits with two walks and seven strikeouts. Samardzija did not give up his first hit until two outs in the fifth on Caleb Gindls single. He quickly got out of the inning by striking out Juan Francisco looking. With runners on first and second with one out in the sixth, Samardzija knocked down Norichika Aokis comebacker with his bare hand to retire him at first. After being checked out by a team trainer and few practice pitches to see if he could continue, Samardzija struck out Segura looking to end the inning. Samardzija was 1-2 with a 6.85 ERA in his four previous July starts. NOTES: Before the game, the Cubs observed a moment of silence for former pitcher Frank Castillo. Castillo apparently drowned at a lake northeast of Phoenix on Sunday. Castillo had an 82-104 record in 13 major league seasons. He pitched for the Cubs, Colorado, Detroit, Toronto, Boston and Florida from 1991 to 2005 before retiring and lived in the Phoenix suburb of Scottsdale. He was 44. He was with the Cubs from 1991 to 1997. ... The Cubs and the Brewers are scheduled for a day-night doubleheader Tuesday. ...

Winless on the PGA Tour, Teater had the eagle, six birdies and two bogeys for 15 points in gusty, swirling wind on the edge of the Sierra Nevada at Montreux Golf & Country Club. Players receive eight points for double eagle, five for eagle, two for birdie, zero for par, minus-one for bogey and minus-three for double bogey or worse. Gary Woodland and James Driscoll were a point back, Greg Chalmers followed at 13, Stuart Appleby and Colt Knost had 12, and 2008 Masters champ Trevor Immelman topped the group at 10. Defending champion J.J. Henry had three points. Teater drove the ball an average of 305 yards and hit one 367. On the 636-yard eighth hole, the Kentucky native followed a 341-yard drive with a 298-yard hybrid approach to set up a 16-foot eagle putt. He closed with a 7-foot birdie putt on the par-4 ninth. "It was kind of a funny day out there," Teater said after the round in gusts in excess of 30 mph that made club selection difficult at the high-altitude course where he finished seventh last year and tied for 10th the year before. "It was swirling," he said. "You get between the trees and going up the mountain and its always hard to judge." Woodland, who also averaged more than 300 yards a drive, had seven birdies in his bogey-free round. Driscoll had eight birdies but two bogeys. The 34-year-old Teater turned pro in 2001 and won the 2009 Utah Championship on the Web.com Tour. He has three top- 10 finishes on the PGA Tour this year, including a tie for second behind Tiger Woods at Torrey Pines. "When you see the way the points shake out -- an eagle is worth five points, whiich is 2 1/2 times a birdie," Teater said.dddddddddddd"You can make a lot of moves in one round." Woodland birdied his first five holes and his last two, dropping a 4-foot putt on the par-3 17th, then driving 370 yards downhill and hitting a 5-iron 266 yards before two-putting from 8 feet for a birdie on the 616-yard, par-5 18th. "I think length is a huge advantage here," Woodland said. "With the altitude. ... I was hitting middle irons into the par 5s." Woodland also had a two-putt birdie on the par-5 eighth after his drive went 380 yards, then holed a 9-footeer for birdie on No. 9. "Going to have to make a lot of birdies out here, but the golf course suits that," he said. Starting on No. 10, Driscoll birdied four of his first six holes but drove the ball into the sage brush en route to a bogey on No. 18. He missed a 4-foot par putt on the par-4 seventh, but followed that with an 11-foot birdie putt after blasting out of the greenside bunker on the No. 8. "Overall, top to bottom, probably one of the better rounds Ive had for sure," Driscoll said. "Even the bogeys I made I didnt feel I hit that bad of shots." Woodland and Chalmers both had early morning tee times before the strongest wind gusts, but even then the breezy conditions made it difficult. "I grew up in western Australia in the third-windiest city in the world, so the wind doesnt bother me," Chalmers said. "Its figuring out the yardages based on the altitude and the down-hills we have. On the last hole today I had 175 actual yards, but I was hitting pitching wedge, which normally goes 130 yards. "So, once you figure out all those numbers, its quite mind boggling to think this is actually going to go far enough. You need a masters in calculus sometimes to figure out the angles." ' ' '
