CHICAGO(AP) -- Carlos Zambrano tried to remain positive after a
rough start. Talk about the Cubs wanting to trade him in the
offseason got him riled up.

Geovany Soto homered and drove in three runs, and the Chicago
Cubs took advantage of 12 walks to beat the Milwaukee Brewers
13-7 on Tuesday night.

Zambrano, who celebrated the one-year anniversary on Monday of
his no-hitter against the Astros in Milwaukee, continued to
struggle. He handled the Milwaukee lineup with relative ease in
the first four innings, striking out eight, but he got roughed
up in the fifth for five runs, giving up a 4-0 lead.

"It's been tough, but I'm not frustrated," Zambrano said. Just
try to help this team and do the best every time I go to the
mound, but just have fun. I go out there to have and try to help
this team every where I can."

Zambrano became agitated when asked if he's seen reports the
Cubs will ask him to waive his no-trade clause after the season.

"I don't care," he said. "If the Cubs want to trade me is
because they don't like me anymore. I have to move on, what else
can I do? Just move on."

Would he waive his no-trade clause?

"No. I don't want to. What kind of question is that?" That's
enough," Zambrano said as he stormed out of the interviewing
room.

Derrek Lee hit a two-run double and drove in three runs and Mike
Fontenot had an RBI single and scored twice for the Cubs, who
have won seven of eight.

In addition to issuing 12 walks, five Brewers pitchers combined
to hit three batters, two with the bases loaded.

Corey Hart had a two-run double and Mike Cameron had a two-run
single to cap off a five-run fifth inning for the Brewers.

Milwaukee starter Yovani Gallardo couldn't hold a 5-4 lead in
the bottom of the fifth. He gave up a solo shot to Soto on a 1-2
pitch to tie it at 5. It was Soto's 11th of the season.

With one out in the sixth inning, Gallardo walked Ryan Theriot
and hit Kosuke Fukudome with a pitch before leaving the game.

"As soon as the game started, I never was quite able to find my
release point. Make one good pitch, I'd do the same thing. I
just really couldn't find my release point," said Gallardo. "I
just couldn't locate my fastball. For some reason I just left
fastballs over the plate."

Brewers reliever Toddy Coffey walked Lee to load the bases, then
Coffey hit Aramis Ramirez with a pitch to allow the go-ahead
run. Soto followed with a two-run single to give the Cubs an 8-5
lead and chase Coffey.

"I'm just pretty embarrassed with the way I threw the ball
tonight," Coffey said. "Obviously I can't walk a guy and hit a
guy with bases loaded and put the run in. The loss is on me
tonight. That's unacceptable."

Milton Bradley followed with a hard liner to first baseman
Prince Fielder. Fielder tried to get the force at second, but
made an errant throw, allowing Ramirez to score. Fontenot
followed with an RBI single off Brewers reliever Carlos
Villanueva.

Cubs reliever Kevin Gregg (6-6) pitched a scoreless sixth
inning.

Brewers reliever Chris Smith walked Lee with the bases loaded
and hit Bradley in the seventh with the bases loaded.

Gallardo (12-12) allowed seven runs on seven hits and five walks
in 5 1-3 innings.

Zambrano allowed five runs on six hits in five innings. He
struck out nine, but walked four.

"Zambrano really had it going for 4 2-3 innings. You got a
4-nothing lead with the pitcher coming up and two outs, you feel
pretty good about getting out of that inning and they put five
runs on the board," Cubs manager Lou Piniella said. "I like the
way Carlos was throwing the ball early, but I don't know what
happened there in the fifth inning."

Lee's three RBIs gave him 101 for the season. It's his second
career 100 RBI season.

NOTES: The Cubs placed OF Alfonso Soriano on the 15-day disabled
list after undergoing season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his
left knee Tuesday. Soriano, who made seven straight All-Star
games before missing out this year, struggled to hit .241 with
20 homers and 55 RBIs on the season. It was his lowest output
for home runs since 2001. Piniella said the surgery was a
success and expects Soriano to be ready for spring training. ...
Lee and Theriot each had four walks for the Cubs. ... Brewers OF
Frank Catalanotto had an RBI triple and scored a run in the
ninth.
