Rizzo powers Cubs
CHICAGO – Anthony Rizzo had another series of firsts. The toughest for him to conquer was the curtain call.
Rizzo hit two home runs and drove in six to lift the Cubs to a 13-9 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the third game of a four-game set.
Rizzo hit a two-run shot in a four-run fifth inning, then capped a five-run sixth with his first career grand slam to seize the lead for the Cubs. The six RBIs are a career high. It was also the 23-year-old’s first multihomer game.
