Built on huge homers, Cubs' big innings a formula for success

CHICAGO -- He's been in right field this week, but for the Philadelphia Phillies, not the Chicago Cubs. Bryce Harper may have been at the top of the offseason wish list for more than a few fans last winter, but not many are clamoring for him in Chicago right now. That's because the Cubs' offense -- once thought broken -- continues to put up big numbers in a resurgent season at the plate. At least so far.

Wednesday was one of the few good hitting nights at Wrigley Field this season, as the ballpark has played favorably for pitchers.
