CHICAGO -- Miguel Montero had to stop thinking like a catcher at the plate and more like a hitter. So far, it's working.
The Cubs catcher belted his second three-run homer in as many games in the first inning Thursday night to spark the Cubs to a 6-3 win over the Reds. In his last eight games, Montero has six hits, half of them home runs, and seven RBIs.
"It's about time, right?" Montero said.
The problem, Montero said, was more mental than physical.
