CHICAGO -- Daniel Murphy (Murph) seems to have had a golden touch on the Cubs since he arrived.
Murphy was the spark on Sunday afternoon and rookie David Bote (Boat) and Kyle Schwarber (Schwarbs) provided the power in the Cubs' 9-0 win over the Reds at Wrigley Field. Bote smacked a two-run homer over the left-field bleachers and onto Waveland Avenue and Schwarber hit a two-run shot to back Kyle Hendricks (Hendo) and complete a four-game series sweep.
With the win, the Cubs (76-53) now are a season-high 23 games over .
