Michael Barrett and A.J. Pierzynski made nice before Friday's game, and were simply catchers, not fighters, as Juan Uribe drove in five runs to lead the Chicago White Sox to a 6-2 victory over the Cubs in Round 2 of this Interleague matchup.

Jon Garland (7-3), the Cubs' first-round draft pick in 1997, notched the win, giving up two runs on seven hits over six innings to help the White Sox take a 3-1 lead in this season's crosstown series.

This was Barrett's first game back after serving a 10-game suspension for delivering a right hook to Pierzynski's jaw on May 20 at U.S. Cellular Field. The Cubs, who went 3-7 without Barrett, were finally back to a full 25-man roster. Before the game, manager Dusty Baker seemed puzzled by all the attention given to the punch.

"It's baseball," Baker said. "You guys act like it's the first fight ever in baseball. When we were playing, we fought all the time but nobody got suspended."

"It's over," he said. "It's no big deal."

Tell that to the mixed crowd of 40,720 at Wrigley Field. Barrett and Pierzynski were greeted with both boos and cheers. When Cubs rookie Sean Marshall plunked Pierzynski on the right arm with a pitch in the fifth, the White Sox fans jeered loudly.

Marshall (4-7), making his 16th start, gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks over six innings while striking out six. Uribe hit a two-run single in the first and an RBI double in the third off Marshall, and added a two-run homer in the eighth off Roberto Novoa.

White Sox fans made themselves heard loud and clear after Uribe's homer, his ninth, with a "Let's go White Sox" chant. The Cubs closed the month of June with one win at home in 11 games.

Pablo Ozuna singled to lead off the game and one out later, limped into third on Paul Konerko's single. Ozuna, who has a sore hamstring, was lifted for pinch-runner Scott Podsednik, who scored on Jermaine Dye's single. Pierzynski singled to load the bases and one out later, Uribe smacked a two-run single to make it 3-0.

The Cubs answered in their half when Juan Pierre singled, stole second and reached third on a fly ball out by Todd Walker. Derrek Lee walked, and Aramis Ramirez and Jacque Jones each followed with RBI singles to close to 3-2.

Pierre, who doubled in the fifth, tripled with one out in the Cubs seventh against Neal Cotts but was out at home when he tried to score on Todd Walker's grounder to Konerko at first.
