In the first five weeks, Carlos Zambrano has been the Chicago Cubs’ constant. Zambrano had his way with Cincinnati’s slumping lineup, allowing only three hits in eight innings, and Ronny Cedeno singled home a pair of runs that sent the Chicago Cubs to a 3-0 victory on Tuesday night. The Cubs won for only fourth time in 12 games, a span marked by inconsistency all-around.
