 CHICAGO (AP) - Derek Lowe pitched a one-hitter for his second shutout and complete game of the season, leading Los Angeles over the Chicago Cubs 7-0 Wednesday.
Lowe (9-13) gave up an infield single leading off the first to Jerry Hairston Jr., who beat a bouncer to third without a throw from a single to Mike Edwards. Lowe faced just 29 batters, allowing his only other runners on walks to Michael Barrett in the third and Jeromy Burnitz in the seventh.
He struck out seven to win for the first time in five starts since Aug. 5. It was the third career shutout and complete game for Lowe, who pitched a no-hitter for Boston against Tampa Bay on April 27, 2002. His other complete game this year was a three-hit shutout against San Diego on April 15.
