Baez hit a two-run shot to the batter\u2019s eye the next inning for a three-run lead. It was his 15th this season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Hendricks (6-4) allowed three runs and six hits while striking out 10 \u2014 including five in a row over the second and third innings. The right-hander is 5-0 with a 2.09 ERA in seven starts since May 3. He also drove in a run with a bloop single in the second.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Steve Cishek followed with a perfect eighth. Pedro Strop, activated off the injured list before the game, pitched a 1-2-3 ninth for his fifth save in seven chances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Daniel Murphy hit a solo shot and drove in another run with a single. Nolan Arenado extended his hitting streak to 14 games with a single and Tony Wolters had an RBI, but the Rockies came up short in a rematch of last year\u2019s NL Wild Card game \u2014 Colorado beat Chicago 2-1 in 13 innings to advance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Colorado\u2019s Jeff Hoffman (1-2) gave up five runs and six hits through six innings in this third start since being recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque on May 24.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">With two outs in the first, consecutive singles by David Dahl, Arenado and Murphy put Colorado ahead 1-0.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Cubs took a 2-1 lead in the second. Gonzalez lined a double over Ian Desmond in center \u2014 that Desmond appeared to lose sight of \u2014 to drive in Baez from first. Gonzalez scored on Hendricks\u2019 single.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Murphy lined a solo drive to left-center in the fourth to tie it at 2.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Rockies closed to 5-3 in the seventh on Wolters\u2019 RBI single. Gonzalez made it 6-3 with his sac fly in the eighth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Rockies: OF Charlie Blackmon, out since May 24 (right calf strain) was eligible to come off the IL on Tuesday but did not. Manager Bud Black said Blackmon would be evaluated after batting practice Tuesday, and it remained uncertain if Blackmon would go on a rehab assignment. \u2026 RHP Wade Davis, on the IL since May 22 (oblique strain), will face live hitters off a mound Wednesday. Black said he didn\u2019t know if Davis would go on a rehab stint.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText BoldIntro\">Cubs: Strop was activated from the 10-day IL (left hamstring strain) before Tuesday night\u2019s game and RHP Dillon Maples was optioned to Triple-A Iowa. The 33-year-old Strop went on the IL on May 8 and entered Tuesday\u2019s game 1-2 with a 5.06 ERA and four saves. He is one of several relievers manager Joe Maddon has shuffled into the closer\u2019s role as Brandon Morrow recovers from right elbow surgery.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies RHP German Marquez (6-2, 3.48) faces Cubs RHP Yu Darvish (2-3, 5.02) on Wednesday night. Marquez was 3-0 with a 4.12 ERA in six starts in May and is 3-1 with a 2.08 ERA on the road this season. Darvish hasn\u2019t won since April 27 but is coming off a solid start at St. Louis last Friday when he allowed one run on three hits in six innings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/schwarber-baez-homer-cubs-end-rockies-winning-streak\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chicago Cubs&#8217; Javier Baez slides into home plate safely on a Carlos Gonzalez double as Colorado Rockies catcher Tony Wolters attempts to apply the tag during the second inning of a baseball game Tuesday, June 4, 2019, in Chicago.
