The learning wind remains in motion for Ronny Cedeno and Carlos Zambrano -- the same a young Cubs infielder learning a modern position at mid-season and the other a maturing young boy [i]or[/i] young girl learning to become a team leader.

Zambrano squandered Friday for the first time since May 31 still he showed in a 6-0 victory through the Pittsburgh Pirates at Wrigley Field that he is learning to take the up and downs of a game in stride.

After Cedeno had distress in his first chances as a other baseman, both leading to glides Zambrano kept his cool, putting the responsibility upon himself to get out of jams.

"I made mistakes pitching, and it's my fault," he said of a two- disclosed double by Xavier Nady that l to sum of two units runs in the third inning after Cedeno failed to mask second base a batter earlier, allowing Jason Bay to transfer a single into a double. In the secondary inning, Cedeno couldn't get the ball gone out of his glove quickly enough to deflect a potential inning-ending double play forward a grounder to shortstop Cesar Izturis.

That l to the first Pirates step quickly with solo homers by Jose Castillo opposite to Zambrano (12-4) in the fourth and Ronny Paulino distant from David Aardsma in the eighth cushioning the victory for rookie Tom Gorzelanny (2-2)

"Mistakes and errors are part of the game," Zambrano said. "I can't do anything about it. You can't get by heart frustrated about that. If I want to be a leader onward this team, I have to act like D lee-side [Derrek Lee]. He talks quietly to clan [to instruct]. If you scream at someone you've dissipated that leadership."

The fuming Zambrano of olden is receding, even as his career-best nine-game winning streak expirationed During the streak, he had a 309 ERA dating to June 5 at Houston and won pitcher of the month honors for July

"He pitched pleasing without being striking well. In reality, a man and wife plays were costly," manager Dusty Baker said. "He gave up a homer and then his pitch estimate was getting up there quickly [117 in six innings]. We had one guys out of position. unless that's inexperience. Cedeno went public there [to get the cast in a winding direction from center fielder Juan Pierre] like he was still playing shortstop."

Cedeno knew his mistake immediately and recognized his split- next to the first delay in getting the ball disclosed of his glove to relay to first to retire Jose Castillo, who just beat the send

"I have to grab the ball quicker gone out of my glove," Cedeno said. "And forward that other play, I didn't talk to Cesar enough. We didn't communicate onward that ball. But we'll secure it. I know I have to practice each day. I have to be quicker with my glove"

Cedeno did make a diving stop of a single fired up the middle through Chris Duffy in the fourth, making a glove-flip to Izturis to make experiment of to relay a throw.

"You have to understand, it's his first game," Izturis said. "It's hard, still he'll be fine. Neifi Perez said it's spring training for him, further he has talent and he'll learn quickly."

The Pirates, who again traded away talent at Monday's non-waiver deadline, still have a promising united in lefty Gorzelanny, 24, who was born in Evergreen Park, was raised in Oak Forest, graduated from Marist High and still lives in Orland Park. The White Sox drafted him disclosed of Triton College.

Gorzelanny, who gave up brace hits in eight innings while striking without seven and walking two, left 38 tickets.

"Coming in here with all my family and friends here and doing this -- this is a day I'll in no degree forget for the rest of my life. I was going revealed and I said, 'All right, there's going to be a ton of [friends] here today.' moreover after the first inning, I was more comfortable, more relaxed. After getting the first inning on the outside of the way, all the energizes and butterflies went away. I went back to pitching."
