Bryant homers twice as Cubs win
The Cubs’ starting pitchers have enjoyed remarkable health all season long, as Cahill was just the eighth different starter they’ve used through the season’s first 118 games.

“You see how professional each person is about how they go about their job, and I think you pick up habits from others”, Ross said. Milwaukee sends RHP Zach Davies (9-5, 3.80 ERA) against Cubs RHP Jake Arrieta (14-5, 2.55 ERA) on Thursday.
“That (MVP talk), honestly, is just a byproduct of us pushing each other and really expecting more out of one another”.
“When he gets into a groove, he runs through the lineup pretty good”, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said recently.
“I would have liked to have gotten that last out”, Lester said of the seventh inning.
Phillies 5, Dodgers 4 • Maikel Franco hit a go-ahead two-run home run in the seventh inning and Philadelphia beat visiting Los Angeles.
In Cincinnati, Ramon Cabrera hit a three-run homer, Dan Straily continued his second-half surge and the Reds beat Miami for their eighth victory in 10 series since the All-Star break. After a quick 1-2-3 inning by Jon Lester in the top of the first, Chicago pounded Jimmy Nelson for 5 runs in their first 6 batters.
Milwaukee was outscored 23-8 in the series and fell to 0-6 at Wrigley Field, while Bryant helped the Cubs move 34 games over.500 for the first time since September 2008.
Chicago led 5-0 when Arrieta (15-5) issued a pair of two-out walks in the fourth.
“I wanted anybody to walk it off for us, so for me to be the guy to do it, it’s awesome”, a smiling Naquin said. It was Bryant’s second five-hit game of hhis season and his career.
And Lester, whose troubles throwing to bases are well documented, stepped off the rubber and watched with the ball in his hand as Broxton stole third after getting a huge jump.
“When he’s in a zone and not permitting the pitcher to expand [the strike zone], he’s very good”, manager Joe Maddon said. In a matchup of the two worst teams in the major leagues, Minnesota improved to 48-71, four games better than the Braves. “You’ve got to be extremely focused on every pitch when he does to bat”. He worked two scoreless innings in Tuesday’s first game. Our models now project the 24-year-old to knock eight more taters and record another 26 RBI’s, with a.279 batting average, over the remaining course of the season.
Royals outfielder Alex Gordon hit his third career grand slam and first since July 2, 2013, vs. the Indians. He also had two passed balls. The 30-year-old followed up eight shutout innings August 6 at Oakland with another solid performance Friday, holding St. Louis to one run and four hits over 5 2/3 frames. The rookie drove the first pitch he saw to center field, deep enough that Adam Eaton couldn’t prevent Almonte from scoring.
Matt Shoemaker (7-13) limited the Mariners to two earned runs – on solo homers to Robinson Cano and Nelson Cruz – and five hits.
