Kyle Lohse gave up two home runs today, one of them with men on base. Micah Hoffpauir hit a three-run shot in the first, and Carlos Zambrano followed with a solo shot in the fourth. Both gave the Cubs the lead, Zambrano’s for good as Chicago went on to a 7-3 victory. Lohse now has allowed eight homers on the season, six with men on base.

For Zambrano, his home run was his third of the year and the 19th of his career. He’s homered in seven straight season, with fifteen in his last four years. He hits well enough that opponents have something else to worry about when Carlos is on the mound.
