Cubs hit 3 HRs to back Lester in 5-1 win over Padres (Yahoo Sports)

Kris Bryant, Addison Russell and Jason Heyward all homered to back Jon Lester's strong outing, and the Chicago Cubs beat the San Diego Padres 5-1 on Monday night. Bryant's solo shot in the fifth inning was his 32nd of the year, tying him with Colorado's Nolan Arenado for the National League lead. Russell added his third home run in two days, and the struggling Heyward - recently benched to rest mentally - got his first since July 29.
