Chicago ? Randy Wolf wanted to keep this game to himself.

Wolf pitched a four-hitter, and Jim Thome hit a two-run homer for his 1,000th and 1,001st career RBIs to lead Philadelphia past Chicago, 3-0, Wednesday night.

Wolf (11-5) struck out four and walked three, earning his sixth career shutout despite three Philadelphia errors. It was his second shutout this season — he pitched a five-hitter May 10 against Houston.

Before the game, Wolf told Phillies pitching coach Joe Kerrigan how long he wanted to pitch.

“I told Joe I didn’t want any relievers pitching today,” Wolf said. “I like to pride myself on going deep in games.”

Against the Cubs, Wolf threw 136 pitches and closed out the win by getting Alex Gonzalez to ground out.

Chicago’s best scoring chance came in the first inning. Mark Grudzielanek doubled with one out and moved to third on an error by right fielder Bobby Abreu. Wolf then struck out Sammy Sosa, walked Moises Alou and got Eric Karros on a groundout.

“I was able to throw my curveball for strikes. I just went with what was working,” Wolf said.

Only three more Chicago runners got past first base.

Philadelphia's Bobby Abreu, left, congratulates Jim Thome after Thome's two-run home run. The pair of RBIs were the 1,000th and 1,001st in his career and helped propel the Phillies past the Chicago Cubs, 3-0, Wednesday in Chicago.

“When a guy like Wolf comes out today and pitches like that, you’ve got to tip your hat and give it to him. He made no mistakes,” Sosa said.

Matt Clement (7-9) allowed just three hits in seven innings, walked five and struck out five.

Chicago’s Kenny Lofton and Aramis Ramirez, obtained Tuesday night from Pittsburgh for Jose Hernandez and minor leaguers, both went 0-for-4.
