Javy slams door on Cubs' skid with 2 HR, 5 RBI

LOS ANGELES -- No Kris Bryant? A scuffling offense? Javier Baez provided the power and some magic, collecting four hits, including a solo homer and a grand slam, and driving in five runs to power the Cubs to a 9-4 victory over the Dodgers on Tuesday night and snap a five-game losing streak.

Jon Lester, pitching at Dodger Stadium for the first time since Game 2 of last year's National League Championship Series, won his sixth straight start to finish the month of June a perfect 5-0. He's now tied with the Nationals' Max Scherzer for the NL lead with 10 wins.
