Astros blank Cubs in matchup of 100-loss teams

CHICAGO – As the losses continue to pile up, they start to look the same to Cubs manager Dale Sveum.



"Deja vu," Sveum said after the Cubs were blanked for a second straight game. "It's kind of typifying the whole season, these last two nights swinging the bats."



Bud Norris pitched six shutout innings, Jason Castro homered and the Houston Astros beat the Cubs, 3-0, Tuesday night in a matchup of 100-loss teams.
