--RF Milton Bradley's first hit as a Cub was a home run in the fourth inning. He became the first player since Jacque Jones in 2006 to have his first Cubs hit be a home run. Bradley was hitless in the first three games at Houston but had four walks entering the Brewers series. He walked once Friday.

--RHP Luis Vizcaino made his first appearance of the season. He retired two batters after Marshall opened the eighth by walking Fielder. Vizcaino was the only Cubs reliever, among six, not to walk or hit a batter. He figures to be a middle-innings man most of the year.

--1B Derrek Lee was 0-for-4 with a walk as his average fell to .118. Lee is not driving the ball, but he appears to be safe in the No. 3 spot of the order for now.

--SS Ryan Theriot had two hits, including a double, and a walk. He's off to a .583 (7-for-12) start. His on-base percentage is .647. Theriot committed his second error of the season in the first inning when he threw the ball over 1B Derrek Lee's head. That led to an unearned run. Theriot admitted to having trouble with the sun and shadows at Miller Park for the 3:05 p.m. start time.

MEDICAL WATCH:

C Geovany Soto (sore right shoulder) left the April 7 game and did not play April 8-10. He was not expected to play April 11 or 12, either.

RHP Rich Harden (chronic right shoulder problems) had the double whammy of coming down with a bad case of food poisoning late in camp. The Cubs were looking at a total of four spring starts for Harden, who is slated to start the fourth game of the regular season. The velocity on the fastball was in the low-90s, and both he and the Cubs say the shoulder is healthy.

INF Aaron Miles (sore right shoulder) nursed the injury through the spring. The Cubs want him to fill in at second base, third base and shortstop. But the shoulder limited him mainly to second base for the second half of the Cactus League season.
