Cubs SP Carlos Zambrano, pitching on a 41-degree night on an extra day's rest because of a rainout Sunday, allowed six hits and three runs in seven innings Monday against the Padres, striking out five and walking two to record his sixth win. "It's OK for me. I'm from Alaska," Zambrano said, drawing laughs at his postgame news conference. "No, it's tough man, especially for me. I'm from South America, Venezuela. It is not this cold. Not even close." (Updated 05/13/2008).
