CINCINNATI -- If the Milwaukee Brewers are going to win the National League Central, they might have to pry it out of Carlos Zambrano's right hand. The Cubs' ace continued his two-month Cy Young charge Sunday in Cincinnati, pitching 7 1/3 shutout innings to beat the Reds 6-0 at Great American Ball Park and become the first 14-game winner in the majors.
