Starlin Castro also had two hits and a pair of RBI for the Cubs, who have won three straight.  Travis Wood tossed seven innings of two-hit ball to improve to 4-2. Josh Rutledge's solo homer in the ninth gave Colorado its lone run. Juan Nicasio allowed five runs over six innings to fall to 3-1. The Rox have lost five out of their last six games.

Twins Crush White Sox

(Minneapolis, MN) -- Aaron Hicks homered twice and Justin Morneau knocked in four runs as the Twins crushed the White Sox, 10-3, in the opener of a three-game series at Target Field.

Harper Leaves Nats' Win Over Dodgers

(Los Angeles, CA) -- Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper left Monday night's win over the Dodgers in Los Angeles after colliding with the wall. Harper was chasing a fly ball off the bat of A.J. Ellis when he ran directly into a portion of the wall that featured a scoreboard with no padding. The 20-year-old phenom had blood on his neck as he departed the field under his own power.

Upton Marks Return To Arizona With Big Night

(Phoenix, AZ) -- Justin Upton had a great return to the desert Monday night.  Upton and his Atlanta Braves started a three-game set with the Diamondbacks in Arizona with a 10-1 victory.
