Homers, strikeouts and brooms prominent in Cubs' win

The Chicago Cubs have really enjoyed playing the Pittsburgh Pirates this season.

Following Sunday's win, they are now 8-1 against the Pirates this season and hold a 12.5-game lead in the NL Central.

Home run frenzy

The Cubs hit five home runs Sunday. With the win, they moved to 12-0 in games in which they hit at least three home runs, the most wins without a loss in such games by a team this season.

The most notable of those came off the bat of Willson Contreras.
