Javier Baez had a three-run shot in the third inning after Albert Almora Jr. and Zobrist singled. Ian Happ nailed two homers. His came in the fourth with a two-run homer and in the seventh with a three-run shot each coming from different sides of the plate.

Kyle Hendricks struck out three and scattered six hits over eight innings.
