Michael Busch had his first big league multi-homer game, helping the Chicago Cubs beat the Colorado Rockies 6-2 Sunday to stop a three-game losing streak.
Chicago went 3 for 14 with runners in scoring position and stranded 16 runners, tying the major league high for a nine-inning game this season."We left a small farming village in central Illinois of runners on base, but we played good offense," Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. "We were missing the next hit, but in the ninth, to get those extra runs, certainly was a big deal.
Colorado pitchers walked 12 for the first time since a 12-11 win over Milwaukee on June 5, 1999.Cal Quantrill gave up two runs, four hits and six walks in 2 1/3 innings, throwing 69 pitches. He made his first appearance since recovering from right triceps inflammation, which had sidelined him since Aug. 27."He told me during the game and after the game that his arm felt great," Rockies manager Bud Black said.
