CHICAGO – Matt Murton tied a major league record with four doubles and also drove in five runs to help the Chicago Cubs beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-3 and split a doubleheader Thursday.

Murton’s four doubles tied a club record, which has been accomplished four times, the most recent being Hall of Famer Billy Williams on April 9, 1969.

“He hit all kind of doubles,” Cubs manager Dusty Baker said. “He hit one down the line, a sun ball, one down the other line, one into right center. If you can spread it out like that, they really don’t know how to play you.”

The Diamondbacks won the first game 10-2 behind Stephen Drew’s four RBIs.

Murton’s first three doubles drove in runs, helping give rookie starter Juan Mateo to an early lead.

Mateo (1-0) gave up two earned runs in five innings to get his first major league victory. The 23-year-old has pitched in the Cubs farm system for five years, but never above Double-A.

Murton’s two-run double in the first off Enrique Gonzalez (3-3) gave the Cubs a 3-0 lead. Angel Pagan and Henry Blanco also drove in runs. Pagan’s infield single scored Ryan Theriot from third to set up Murton’s hit. Blanco’s sacrifice bunt in the seventh scored Phil Nevin from third to make it 7-3.

Gonzalez gave up six runs in five innings.

Drew homered, tripled and drove in a season-high four runs to lead the Diamondbacks over the Cubs in the first game. He added an RBI single in the second game.

The highly touted prospect made his big league debut on July 15. The younger brother of Dodgers outfielder J.D. Drew, he hit his first homer in the majors during Monday’s 15-4 romp at Wrigley Field.

“He’s going to be quite a nice little player,” Arizona manager Bob Melvin said.

Arizona tied San Diego for the NL West lead with the victory, but fell back to a 1-2 game deficit after San Diego defeated Houston 5-2.

Luis Gonzalez homered during a five-run first inning, providing an early cushion for Juan Cruz (4-6).

Cruz gave up one run and five hits in five innings for his first victory since winning at Atlanta on June 1. He had been 0-3 with a 6.38 ERA in five starts after being activated from the disabled list on July 3, having been out because of a sore right shoulder.

“He threw the ball well,” Melvin said. “He’s a ‘plus’ velocity guy that’s come up with a little cutter now that’s working for him.”

Gonzalez hit a two-run homer, his 11th, off Carlos Marmol (4-5) to extend his hitting streak to a season-high 13 games. He did not collect a hit in the second game.
