Cubs Lead Central Division

Jacque Jones starred on both defense and offense Friday as the Cubs beat the Cardinals 2-1 and vaulted into first place in the Central Division, half a game ahead of the Brewers.

Jones made a leaping catch against the wall in center field in the fifth inning to rob Brendan Ryan of an extra-base hit.

In the sixth, after Ryan Theriot hit a single, Jones hit a two-run homer, giving the Cubs their only runs of the day, the only runs they needed.
