The Chicago Cubs have had little trouble coming from behind to win games on their current homestand. 

Right-hander Jim Brower was traded Friday from the Cincinnati Reds to the Chicago Cubs for cash. 

Jim Edmonds and Mark DeRosa delivered key hits and the Chicago Cubs overcame an eight-run deficit, rallying past the Colorado Rockies 10-9 Friday for their fifth straight victory. 

Alfonso Soriano can look shaky in the outfield one minute and then silence his critics with one quick flick of his bat. 

As good as the Chicago Cubs have been at home this season, it's still been nearly seven years since they won more than five straight games at Wrigley Field. 

For one night at least, the Chicago Cubs are the best team in baseball. 

The Chicago Cubs recalled left-hander Neal Cotts from Triple-A Iowa on Thursday and optioned right-hander Jose Ascanio to the minors. 

--CF Jim Edmonds did not start Wednesday's game even though the Dodgers started RHP Derek Lowe against the Cubs. 

MEDICAL WATCH: RHP Chad Fox (ulnar neuritis in right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to May 12. 

Manager Lou Piniella wanted to make it very clear Wednesday that he wants some more left-handed pop.

The Chicago Cubs have used their high-powered offense to dominate teams at Wrigley Field during the first two months of the season, leading them to one of baseball's best home records. 

Criticized for his defense earlier in the week after he misplayed a fly ball that cost the Chicago Cubs a win, Alfonso Soriano responded Wednesday night with a hit that sent his team to victory.
