ST. LOUIS - Greg Maddux pitched seven strong innings, stole a base and scored twice, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-3 Monday.
Sammy Sosa, Todd Walker and Derrek Lee homered for the Cubs, who split the four-game series despite scoring only 14 runs.
Albert Pujols and Jim Edmonds connected for the Cardinals.
Maddux (2-2) outpitched former Braves teammate Jason Marquis (1-2) for his 291st career win. He allowed two runs and seven hits, walking none and striking out six.
Walker drove in three runs. The Cubs won for only the seventh time in their last 34 games at Busch Stadium since 2000.
