Every Cubs starter had one hit, except for right fielder Kosuke Fukudome who had three in a 9-3 Cards loss Saturday afternoon at Busch Stadium. Albert Pujols and Yadier Molina had solo home runs, but starting pitcher Kyle Lohse gave up eight earned runs -- including six in the fourth inning -- in losing his first game of the 2008 season.
