CHICAGO (AP) — Kevin Hart won the game and got traded. Russ Ortiz lost it and got released. That was the strange aftermath to the Chicago Cubs’ 12-3 victory over the Houston Astros on Thursday. “It’s a little weird, a lit- tle different,” Hart said while still wearing a Cubs’ sweat shirt in a mostly empty clubhouse after his former teammates had rushed off to the airport. Hart won his third- straight start; then, moments after the game, he was traded to the Pitts- burgh Pirates in a five- player deal that landed John Grabow and Tom Gorzelanny with the Cubs. JOHN SMIERCIAK/ASSOCIATED PRESS Ortiz, who gave up nine Chicago Cub Kosuke Fukudome hits a triple during the seventh inning against the Houston Astros on 1 hits and nine runs in 2 ⁄3 Thursday in Chicago. innings, was put on waivers for the purpose of chance to make the play- in his six innings. home for a 9-3 lead, Ortiz giving him his uncondi- offs.
