Soriano, Fukudome lead Cubs over 'Backs 7-2

Alfonso Soriano had four hits, including a go-ahead double in a six-run seventh inning, and showed some flair on the bases to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-2.

Kosuke Fukudome's first homer since opening day capped the seventh-inning rally as the Cubs won their second straight against the team that swept them in the first round of the playoffs last October.

After a strong performance by Diamondbacks' rookie Max Scherzer, the Cubs trailed 2-1 headed into the seventh when they got to reliever Chad Qualls (0-4). Daryle Ward tied it with an RBI single.

Cubs starter Ryan Dempster gave up only three hits and two runs in six innings. Scott Eyre (1-0) pitched the seventh.
