Cubs' Silva tops Rangers to go 6-0

ARLINGTON, Texas - Carlos Silva became the first Cubs starter in 43 years to have a perfect record after six decisions as Chicago beat the Texas Rangers, 5-4, in an interleague series on Sunday.

ARLINGTON, Texas - Carlos Silva became the first Cubs starter in 43 years to have a perfect record after six decisions as Chicago beat the Texas Rangers, 5-4, in an interleague series on Sunday.

Alfonso Soriano's two-run homer capped a four-run first that put the Cubs ahead to stay before Silva had thrown his first pitch.

The big righthander, a former Phillie who came to the Cubs in the off-season trade that sent Milton Bradley to Seattle, was done after 51/3 innings and 81 pitches on a hot, sunny day in Texas to improve to 6-0.

Ken Holtzman went 9-0 in his first 12 starts for the Cubs in 1967. The last starting pitcher to begin his Cubs' career by winning six straight was Hall of Famer Dizzy Dean in 1938.

C.J. Wilson (3-2) allowed five runs over 52/3 innings and lost for the first time in seven starts. Carlos Marmol, the fourth Cubs reliever, earned his ninth save in 11 chances.

Xavier Nady added what proved to be the decisive run for the Cubs with a gutsy headfirst slide in the sixth. He made it 5-3 when he lunged and reached his left arm between the legs of catcher Matt Treanor to slap the plate just before getting tagged by right fielder Nelson Cruz's strong throw after Koyie Hill's single.
