Cubs win season opener
PHOENIX (AP) -- The Chicago Cubs' offense looked just fine without Sammy Sosa and Moises Alou.
Aramis Ramirez celebrated a new contract by going 3-for-4 with a two-run homer and four RBI, and the Cubs amassed 23 hits Monday in a 16-6 rout of the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Derrek Lee had four hits and five RBI, including a three-run homer and two doubles. Todd Walker, Jeromy Burnitz and Corey Patterson also had three hits apiece for the Cubs.
Zambrano fell one out shy of earning the victory, then made a less-than-graceful exit. After walking Cruz with the bases loaded and two outs in the fifth, Zambrano was lifted and then ejected by plate umpire Dale Scott following an exchange of words. "I just said he needed glasses," Zambrano said. He gave up three runs and seven hits, throwing 106 pitches in 4 2/3 innings.
