Soriano hits 2 HRs, Cubs top Pirates 7-4 (AP)

 
Alfonso Soriano got booed and jeered during a slow start. Now, he's showing again that he can carry a team. Soriano homered in his first two at-bats, Geovany Soto and Mark DeRosa went deep and the surging Chicago Cubs beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-4 Friday for their seventh win in eight games. Soriano connected on the first pitch from Tom Gorzelanny for his third leadoff home run in four games. (link)
