Hill allowed four hits in eight scoreless innings, Michael Barrett and Aramis Ramirez backed him with solo homers, and the Chicago Cubs defeated the Atlanta Braves 3-0 on Thursday night.Chicago, which had lost two straight and seven of nine, had a third straight masterful start from Hill (3-0). He struck out seven and walked three, lowering his ERA to 0.41, best in the majors.
"He's pitching as well as anybody in baseball," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "Today we really needed to rest our bullpen one more day, and he gave us what we needed."
Keep it going, Rich. It's nice to have our #2/#3 guy pitching like a #1.
