Rizzo, Heyward club Cubs to 5th straight win

Marlins starter Jeff Locke did not give up a hit to a left-handed batter last week in his first start of the season. It was a different story in his second outing as Rizzo smacked his home run and Heyward hit an RBI double, both with two outs in the fifth, off the lefty. Locke, slowed at the beginning of the season because of left biceps tendinitis, took the loss, the Marlins' third in their last 10 games.

Rizzo entered the game 10-for-26 against Locke with four home runs. He picked up No. 5 after Jon Jay and Kris Bryant walked with two outs in the fifth.
