Chicago ? Seeing Erubiel Durazo break a tie with a grand slam in the ninth inning was bad enough for the fans at Wrigley Field.

But watching the Cubs run themselves out of a rally in the bottom of the inning was too much.

“Go on strike! Go on strike!” the crowd of 38,728 chanted as the Arizona Diamondbacks beat the Cubs, 6-2, Saturday.

When pinch-runner Joe Girardi’s baserunning error caused Alex Gonzalez to get caught in a rundown between third and home, the chants started, and the crowd kept it up until the end of the game.

“We’ve been booed for a while now, and rightfully so,” Cubs starter Kerry Wood said.

The victory was Arizona’s eighth in a row, a season high. The Diamondbacks have also won nine straight road games.

Sammy Sosa hit his major league-leading 43rd homer of the season. It was his 493rd career home run, matching Lou Gehrig for 18th place on the lifetime list.

The Diamondbacks have won 22 of their last 26 games and took advantage of three Chicago base running errors.

The Cubs have lost five of six.

Mike Fetters (2-0) gained the victory after striking out Sosa and Fred McGriff in the eighth.

Pirates 5, Brewers 0

Dodgers 10, Mets 4

New York Odalis Perez retired his first 19 batters, and Shawn Green homered and drove in four runs as Los Angeles routed New York. The Mets dropped their 10th in a row at home and set a season high with seven consecutive losses overall. The crowd of 50,763 chanted “Go on strike! Go on strike!” when the Mets fell behind 8-0 in the third. They fell into last place in the NL East.
