Marquis loves playing the Cardinals.

Jason Marquis is 3-1 for the season for the Chicago Cubs. Two of those victories has come in the last week against his old team, the St. Louis Cardinals. Marquis' Cubs defeated the Cardinals 5-3 on Friday behind home runs by Aramis Ramirez and Felix Pie.

His new team gave him plenty of run support in the fourth. Derrek Lee doubled to lead off, the first hit off Cardinals starter Anthony Reyes (0-4), and Ramirez followed with his fifth home run to go ahead, 2-1. Ramirez now has 125 home runs with the Cubs, and needs one more to tie Andy Pafko for 13 on the team's all-time list.

Two outs later, Mark DeRosa doubled and Pie belted his first homer off a 1-0 pitch from Reyes. Maybe Pie's blast can get things going for the Cubs outfielders. Going into the game, Pie, Alfonso Alfonso Soriano and Matt Murton had one home run and four RBIs combined.

The Cardinals managed 9 hits including a home run of their own by catcher Yadier Molina.

Losing pitcher was Anthony Reyes 0-4. He went 6 innings allowing 4 hits, 4 runs including the two home runs. He had 2 base-on-balls and also had 5 strike outs.
