Cubs Pound Indians, Mets Beat Cardinals

CLEVELAND -- Kyle Schwarber loves Progressive Field. Schwarber hit two home runs Tuesday and the Chicago Cubs pounded the Cleveland Indians, 10-3.

Schwarber picked up his first big league hit and his first home run in this park. This time around he banged out No. 5 and No. 6 in the home run department.

Schwarber hit a solo shot in the second inning that broke his own record for hardest homer at 117.1 mph. His second home run in the fourth went 407 feet and gave the Cubs a 4-1 lead.

Willson Contreras and Ian Happ also went deep for the Cubs.

Tyler Chatwood earned his first victory as a Cub

At St. Louis

The New York Mets came calling and handed the St. Louis Cardinals a 6-5 loss that went 10 innings Tuesday.

Jordan Hicks allowed the game-tying run on a sacrifice fly in the eighth by Adrian Gonzalez. Then in the 10th, Matt Bowman gave up a solo home run by Jay Bruce and the Cardinals suffered their second straight loss.

St. Louis held a three-run lead after four innings and led by one after five. But the Mets came back as Yoenis Cespedes hit a home run off starter Luke Weaver in the fourth. Paul DeJong put St. Louis back into the lead with a double in the fifth. But New York tied again in the eighth.
