When David Bote's two-run homer cleared the fence in the fifth inning, it felt almost like a milestone for the Chicago Cubs -- the first time in six games they'd scored more than one run. "Whatever it was, was broken at that point," manager Joe Maddon said. "That was broken. It was good to move it forward from there." Bote's drive was the first of three homers by the Cubs in an 8-2 victory over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night. Chicago had scored exactly one run in each of its previous five games, but even so, the victory Wednesday gave the Cubs a 3-3 mark on the road trip they were wrapping up. read more http://www.espn.com/mlb/recap?gameId=380822106
