Javier Baez and Kyle Schwarber each had a homer and four RBIs, and the Cubs rode a seven-run sixth inning to a 16-5 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Friday night amid intermittent rain and temperatures that dipped into the upper 30s. “We just came from Chicago where it was really cruddy (weather) until that last day” of the homestand, Schwarber said. “We’re all used to that weather, but it was definitely a good day getting the win.”The elements certainly didn’t affect the Cubs’ bats. Schwarber had three hits, connecting for his fourth home run of the season in the sixth to help break open the game. Rockies: LHP Tyler Anderson (0-0, 4.74 ERA) is seeking his first win in his fifth start of the season.
