CHICAGO - Ted Lilly pitched seven scoreless innings in his best start of the season, Tyler Colvin drove in the lone run with a double in the eighth, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers, 1-0, on Thursday.
Mike Fontenot led off the eighth with a triple down the right-field line and came around on a one-out double by Colvin, who went to third when rightfielder Xavier Paul had trouble picking up the ball. That chased tough-luck loser John Ely (3-2) and sent the Cubs to their eighth win in 11 games.
Both players had come on in the eighth for the Cubs, with Colvin going to left as part of a double switch in which Sean Marshall replaced Lilly.
Fontenot replaced Jeff Baker at third when he walked off the field with a vision problem in his right eye following a leadoff single by Russell Martin. Marshall (5-1) also gave up a one-out single to Matt Kemp, putting runners on first and second, before Casey Blake lined to first and James Loney grounded to second.
Carlos Marmol pitched the ninth for his 11th save in 13 chances.
