A return to health

   Cubs right-hander Rich Harden made his return to the mound yesterday after coming off the disabled list earlier in the day. Harden pitched well, despite taking the tough-luck 2-0 loss, giving up just the two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out nine.

Infielder Aaron Miles also returned on Wednesday from the disabled list, his shoulder looking better and stronger, he said.
