Rizzo, Barney hit 3-run HRs
CHICAGO – Anthony Rizzo and Starlin Castro homered during a nine-run fifth inning, and the Cubs routed the Pittsburgh Pirates, 14-4,
on Monday night in their highest-scoring game of the season.
Rizzo and Darwin Barney hit three-run homers. Castro had a two-run shot and reached base four times as the Cubs won for the 11th time in their past 13 games at Wrigley Field.
Rizzo’s drive off Erik Bedard (5-12) keyed the Cubs’ biggest burst of the year. On Sunday, his 10th-inning homer beat St. Louis.
