(AP) -- Matt Garza had a positive outing for his
new team, pitching four solid innings Monday in the Chicago Cubs'
5-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners.

Acquired from Tampa Bay this winter in an eight-player trade,
Garza had struggled in two of his first three appearances with the
Cubs. He was much better against Seattle, giving up a run and three
hits with three strikeouts and two walks.

      The right-hander pitched a no-hitter against Detroit last season
while going 15-10 with a 3.91 ERA in 32 starts.
      Adam Kennedy drove in two runs with a sixth-inning single for
the Mariners, an inning after Chone Figgins doubled in the go-ahead
run.
