CHICAGO (AP) — Ben Zobrist hit a three-run homer, John Lackey pitched seven solid innings and the Chicago Cubs completed a sweep of the Philadelphia Phillies with a 7-2 victory Sunday.
Miguel Montero added a solo homer and drove in two runs as the Cubs (34-14) won their fifth straight and became the first team this season to get to 20 games over .500.
Zobrist’s two-out drive to right off Vince Velasquez (5-2) made it 5-0 in the third. It extended Zobrist’s hitting streak to 15 games and put the Cubs on the way to their sixth series sweep.
