(September 3, 2008)--Randy Wolf pitched a six-hitter for his eighth
career shutout and Ty Wigginton homered Thursday night as the Houston Astros won their eighth straight with a 4-0 victory over the slumping Chicago Cubs, who've lost a season-high five in a row.

The surging Astros completed a three-game sweep at Wrigley Field
behind the pitching of Wolf and some good defense. Wigginton, an infielder most of his career, also made a great throw from left field to cut down a potential Chicago run in the fifth inning.

It is Houston's second eight-game winning streak in less than a month, matching an earlier one from Aug. 7-14.
