Cubs hit 4 HRs, score 17 runs to rout Tribe

Chicago's romp reached the point where the Indians used a pair of position players -- outfielders Ryan Raburn and David Murphy -- as pitchers to finish the game.

Anthony Rizzo (12 home runs this season), Addison Russell (five homers), Chris Denorfia (one) and Kris Bryant (eight) each belted a long ball for Chicago, which has won eight of its last 12 games. The Cubs' 10-run outburst between the second and third innings was more than ample for supporting a strong seven-inning effort from Wada (no runs allowed on four hits with six strikeouts and two walks).
