Cubs’ offense breaks out with 3-homer game

David Bote belted a two-run homer and Daniel Murphy added an RBI single in his Cubs debut during a pivotal fifth inning against Tigers starter Francisco Liriano. Jon Lester went 5 2/3 strong innings for just his second win since the All-Star break, while Javier Baez and Anthony Rizzo clubbed back-to-back insurance homers in the ninth as the teams split the two-game Interleague set.
