导出博客文章CHICAGO -- Jon Lester felt better Friday, after some rough outings. He knows he
wasnt perfect in six shutout innings. A pair of pointless, useless walks, as he
put it, still bothered him afterward.Not that they mattered, in the end.The Cubs
posted their highest-scoring game at home this season, routing the Seattle
Mariners 12-1 Friday for their third straight win.The guys swung the bats really
well, Lester said. I try to always tell them, 12 runs and an air-tight defense
makes a pitchers job a lot easier, so that was good today.Lester (11-4) gave up
four hits and struck out seven.The lefty had lasted just 16 innings over his
previous four starts, going 1-1 with a 10.13 ERA. That skid came after he had
gone 9-3 with a 2.03 ERA in his first 16 starts.Johnnie Lester, I thought,
pitched really well again, Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. I thought he had a
really good fastball today. From the side, to me, it was obvious that his
fastball had a lot of jump on it.Jason Heyward and David Ross homered as the NL
Central leaders won for the 10th time in their last 15 games after a 1-9 slump.
They are 9-5 since the All-Star break.Seattle lost in its first trip to Wrigley
since 2007. The Mariners let infielder Luis Sardinas pitch the eighth, and he
threw a perfect inning.Lester matched his win total from last season.Jon did a
great job settling in after the first couple of innings there and never gave up
anything, said Cubs right fielder Ben Zobrist, who doubled for the third
straight game. I think all across the board, as a team, its a real feel-good
win.Lester was already done when there was a 74-minute rain delay in the
seventh.Mike Montgomery, traded last week from Seattle to the Cubs, pitched the
final two innings. He gave up a single to Shawn OMalley in the ninth for the
Mariners run.Hisashi Iwakuma (11-7) had won his last five starts, but gave up
five runs and eight hits in three innings. His arm felt tight when he started
warming up in the bullpen and never was on, manager Scott Servais said.He got
loose and wasnt sharp, Servais said, missed in the middle of the plate a lot,
obviously, against a good offensive club, and it was a rough day.The Cubs
already led 5-0 when they scored six times in the sixth inning, with Anthony
Rizzo hitting a three-run double.Heyward hit his first homer since June 11 and
drove in three runs. He had been just 5 for 45 in his last 13 games.Kris Bryant
reached base all five times he came up for the Cubs. He singled twice, doubled
and walked twice. It was Bryants team-high eighth three-hit game this
season.Sardinas, who played for Texas and Milwaukee the past two seasons, moved
from first base to the mound and retired the Cubs on eight pitches.THE
PUSHJavier Baez scored Chris Coghlans single in the second inning, then turned
to see if Ross needed any guidance coming home. Plate umpire Eric Cooper also
needed a clean look, and with Baez lingering outside the batters box, shoved the
player out of the way.He pushed me really hard, Baez said, who added it was
nothing personal.I guess everyone can laugh about it because Im not making a big
deal out of it, he said.Ross scored easily.UPS AND DOWNSThe Cubs activated OF
Coghlan (ribs) off the disabled list and optioned infielder Tommy La Stella to
Triple-A Iowa. La Stella, who was hitting .295 in 105 at-bats with a .388
on-base percentage, didnt take the news well, according to Maddon.And he
shouldnt take it well, Maddon said. Honestly, its just an unusual moment were in
right now where we have so many guys. This is definitely an advocacy for a 27-
or 28-man roster.La Stella had options remaining, which left him vulnerable in a
crowded infield. Coghlan started in LF and the leadoff spot and opened the
scoring with a two-run single in the second.NEWCOMERSeattles Guillermo Heredia
made his major league debut when he went to right field in the seventh. He
struck out in the eighth. The Mariners recalled him from Triple-A Tacoma before
the game and optioned LHP David Rollins.TRAINERS ROOMMariners: RF Nelson Cruz
returned to the lineup after fouling a ball off his shin Tuesday. He went 0 for
2 with a walk.Cubs: CF Dexter Fowler still has some soreness, Maddon said, so
Heyward played center instead of right. Ben Zobrist started in right field for
the second straight game.UP NEXTMariners: Its been a streaky season for LHP Wade
Miley (6-8, 5.23). He lost his first two decisions, won his next six and has
lost his last six starts.Cubs: Jake Arrieta (12-4, 2.76) is 0-2 with a 5.55 ERA
in four July starts. He has allowed 20 earned runs over his last five starts
after giving up 19 over his first 15 starts.
