Cubs RHP Silva gets into it with teammate

[March 03, 2011]  PHOENIX (AP) -- Chicago Cubs right-hander Carlos Silva was pulled early from Wednesday's game against the Milwaukee Brewers after having words with a teammate after the Cubs committed three errors in Milwaukee's six-run first inning.

Silva, who also gave up two home runs in the inning, apparently was escorted to the clubhouse by a coach.

Third baseman Aramis Ramirez, shortstop Starlin Castro and catcher Koyie Hill were charged with errors. Hill's was an interference call that prolonged the inning.

Cubs pitcher Carlos Zambrano and first baseman Derrek Lee had a blowup in the dugout during the season last year.
