Scouting Report:
Reds:
Pitching for the first time since July 28, when he left the game after one inning against the Cubs with a sore lower back, Harang shut down the Dodgers with eight scoreless innings in Wednesday?s 1-0 win. The right-hander allowed four hits and one walk while striking out eight. More importantly, he felt no ill-effects with his back. Harang has six quality starts in his last seven outings.
Cubs:
Zambrano is coming off a loss to the Astros in which he spent most of the game fighting himself. Big Z gave up seven runs on eight hits over 5 2/3 innings, striking out six. He was unable to pick up win No. 15 for the second time. It's the most runs he's given up since June 1. Zambrano also broke a bat over his knee after striking out with the bases loaded. Manager Lou Piniella said he had to spend part of the game trying to calm Big Z down
