Garza struck out Justin Uptown swinging with two on to end the third, getting the struggling slugger on an off-speed pitch. He repeated the trick against Parra, who chased a pitch in the dirt with two runners on to end the fourth.
Upton, the subject of trade rumors himself, went 0 for 4 and went hitless in 10 at-bats during the series.
Garza was aided by a double play to end the fifth, the Cubs' 10th straight game with a DP ball. That is Chicago's longest streak with a double play since turning one in 11 straight games from May 20 to 31, 1994.
NOTES: Arizona OF Jason Kubel was held out of the starting lineup for a second straight day because of tightness in his right hamstring. He suffered the injury while slipping on a wet field in Friday's game. He pinch-hit in Saturday's contest and Diamondbacks manager Kirk Gibson said the club is hoping to avoid placing Kubel on the disabled list. ... Former Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood paid a visit to his old clubhouse before the game, his first trip to Wrigley Field since his retirement ceremony on May 19. ... Cahill, who entered the game with just three hits in 45 at-bats, singled twice for his first career two-hit game.
