MILWAUKEE -- Matt Garza knows all about the trade speculation. Dimitri Payet Jersey . It certainly didnt distract him Thursday against the Brewers. The right-hander struck out 10 in seven solid innings and Dioner Navarro hit a three-run homer, sending the Chicago Cubs to a 7-2 victory over Milwaukee. Garza can become a free agent after the season and is expected to be one of the top pitchers available on the trade market as the July 31 non-waiver deadline approaches. "Somebody asked me today, Well, do you sit by your phone?" Garza said. "I said, No. No phone calls. No worries, guys. Im not too worried about it, just going to keep plugging away every five days." Garza (3-1) had his third consecutive strong outing. He allowed one run on eight hits and a walk while throwing 101 pitches. He spent the first seven weeks of the season on the disabled list with a left lat strain sustained in spring training. Garza was making his eighth start since returning on May 21, and has given up only two earned runs over 22 innings in his last three outings. "I like where Im at, and Im just going to try to keep improving," he said. The Cubs broke the game open with four runs in the third, capped by Navarros seventh homer. Milwaukee made a pair of errors and all the runs in the inning off Wily Peralta (5-9) were unearned. "Every opportunity I get Im going to try to do the best I can," said Navarro, who has 89 at-bats this year. "I obviously dont try to hit a homer every time I go to the plate, but I try to get good swings. I feel that I hit the ball pretty good the four times today. I was fortunate enough to get one." Peralta gave up seven runs, three earned, on eight hits and a walk while striking out two in five innings. He allowed the leadoff batter to reach base on singles in each of the first four innings, and three of those runners scored. "We played really poorly behind him," Milwaukee manager Ron Roenicke said. "He didnt make pitches. He didnt pitch as well as he did last time but I was glad he came out and at least kept us in the ballgame and was able to give us five innings." Milwaukees Juan Francisco homered for the third consecutive game, his ninth this year, but committed a costly error in the third that led to three unearned runs. For the second consecutive game, the Cubs took advantage of Milwaukee errors and fielding miscues. Ryan Sweeney singled leading off the second inning, stole second and moved to third on a wild pitch. Brian Bogusevic, starting in left field for the second straight game in place of Alfonso Soriano, doubled down the left-field line to score Sweeney and make it 1-0. One out later, Darwin Barneys liner went off Peraltas glove for a single that scored Bogusevic. Starlin Castro led off the third with a single and stole second. One out later, Sweeneys liner to left went off the glove of Caleb Gindl for a two-base error, making it 3-0. Anthony Rizzo struck out for the second out. Bogusevic then hit a hard grounder to third, and Aramis Ramirezs throw to first was in time but went off Franciscos glove for the second error of the inning. Navarro followed by hitting the first pitch from Peralta down the right-field line for a three-run homer to make it 6-0. "Nobody wants to make errors, but its going to happen," Peralta said. "I still have to execute, make pitches and pick up my team, but I wasnt able to do that." An error by second baseman Rickie Weeks in the fourth inning Wednesday night allowed two unearned runs to score in a 5-4 Cubs win over the Brewers. NOTES: Cubs prospect Jorge Soler has a stress fracture in his left leg and will be out four to six weeks. Soler was selected to the World Team for the All-Star Futures Game, but will be unable to play. He was batting .281 with eight home runs and 35 RBIs in 55 games for Class-A Daytona. ... The game began with the roof open, but when rain threatened it was closed in the fifth inning. ... Sean Halton made his major league debut with a pinch-hit single in the fifth for Milwaukee. He was recalled from Triple-A Nashville before the game. ... Weeks extended his hitting streak to 11 games. Brewers SS Jean Segura ran his streak to 10 games.

TORONTO -- The World Cup of Hockey is here to stay, that much the NHL and NHL Players Association have made fairly clear.Just what form it will have moving forward, however, remains very much up in the air.Team Canada head coach Mike Babcock didnt hold back when I asked him Tuesday morning what his feedback would be about the World Cup if the NHL and NHLPA asked him for it.Two cities, only night games, bring the pools together -- close, close together -- so you have crowds every night, not moving players around, began Babcock, and it was obvious he had been waiting for a while for someone to ask. Based on where you finish, what your world standing is thats how youre ranked in the tournament, thats how you pick dressing rooms, thats how you pick everything.Thats fair, actually. When you go to the Olympic Games, the swimmer in the heats who swims the fastest gets the best lane; thats how it should be. But this young guns [North America] team, or whatever it was [called], was spectacular. Next time is there going to be a?[Connor] McDavid?and an [Auston] Matthews?and those guys there? So you better be careful what you do with that.Team Europes done a great job, Babcock continued. Theyre right here in the final, [so its] pretty hard to knock it and yet I like country on country. I like the opportunity to represent your country where the heats on you and youve got to deliver. I think thats a huge part of the Olympic Games. The other thing is, the World Cups great. Its not the Olympics. Lets not get confused.OK, everyone got all that?First and foremost, if Babcock had his way theres no way the NHL and NHLPA would pull out of sending players to the 2018 South Korea Games. That decision needs to be made by the end of the year, and unless the IOC changes its tune on not wanting to pay for player contract insurance and travel costs -- as it has in the past -- NHL participation is definitely in peril.Also notable is that Babcock clearly feels that the next World Cup should be made up of teams representing their countries and not include the 23-and-under North American team or the team hes facing in the finals, Team Europe. I happen to agree with him. I think a traditional field is the way to go, with a European qualifying event the year before the next World Cup to determine the final few teams in the field. If the NHL doesnt go to South Korea, I think there will be even more onus on having an Olympic-like, traditional field for the next World Cup.NHL commissioner Gary Bettman saaid on Tuesday that no decisions had been made, either way, yet in terms of which teams would take part in the next World Cup. Jeremy Mathieu Jersey. We havent evaluated [that] yet. When we debrief with the Players Association well focus on the format of future World Cups, Bettman told ESPN.com. (But) I dont think anybody can suggest that this tournament wasnt more exciting because of the Team Europe and Team North America concepts. Theres no doubt that those two teams were more competitive than the seventh and eighth countries would have been.Team Europe winger Nino Niederreiter, who is from Switzerland, was asked Tuesday morning about whether hed want to play for the Swiss in the next World Cup or come back as part of Team Europe.At the end of the day its a lot more emotional when you play for your own country, said Niederreiter. Here, you got put together a couple of weeks ago and youre eight nations in one place and for one team. At this point you dont really play for your country, you play for the teammates you have. So its a mixed feeling. Even being in the finals, its a different feeling than when you play for Switzerland in the final. Theres literally no pressure on us (Team Europe). All the pressure is on Canada.Dont get him wrong, Niederreiter says the whole Team Europe experience has been amazing. But when push comes to shove, playing for a solid hockey country like Switzerland and having that emotional attachment is preferable. After all, Switzerland did beat Canada at the Torino Olympics in 2006 and lost in a shootout to the Canadians at Vancouver 2010. So its reasonable for Switzerland to want to have its own entry in the World Cup. On the flip side, look at it from?Anze Kopitars perspective.Slovenia, Kopitars home country, will never have a chance to make a World Cup field. So for him, this is a unique opportunity with Team Europe and hes really enjoying the ride.I think everybody bought in really quick. I mean, Ive said it many times, everybodys really excited to be here and Id be lying if I said I was completely sold on this concept for sure. You dont know what youre getting into, said the?Los Angeles Kings?captain. It makes it so much easier if the guys buy in right away. We have a really good group of guys. It was a lot easier than I expected for everybody to kind of match up and create the chemistry thats brought us to this point.
