Contreras' 3 RBIs push Cubs to 6th straight win
Contreras' go-ahead homer in 6th CHICAGO -- David Bote celebrated his first home run, Javier Baez did another magic act by stealing home and Willson Contreras provided the fireworks with a tie-breaking home run and two-run double to lift the Cubs to a 5-2 win on Wednesday over the Tigers, extending their winning streak to a season-high six games.
Contreras smacked his go-ahead home run off Tigers starter Francisco Liriano in the sixth inning and his double with two outs in the seventh off Louis Coleman gave Chicago some breathing room. Contreras now has eight hits in 16 at-bats during this homestand. The Cubs now have hit 11 home runs and scored 56 runs during their winning streak.
