Cubs have eight extra-base hits in 9-1 rout over Rockies

Chicago Sun-Times — Cubs pitcher Travis Wood may not be in the same star realm as teammate Anthony Rizzo and his new multi-year $41 million contract. But the two have something in common for now: they’ve come a long way in less than a year. For Rizzo, 23, it’s been about getting a foothold in the majors after being in Class AAA a year ago.
