Schwarber's performance Wednesday night, however, wasn't enough as the Cubs' late rally fell short in a 6-5 loss to the Marlins that ended their winning streak at five games. This marked the first multi-hit game since May 16 for Schwarber, who saw his playing time shrink nearly two weeks ago. When he has played recently, he has been hitting ninth. Schwarber credited hitting coach John Mallee and assistant Eric Hinske for shortening his stride and swing, and that has provided more balance. "It has allowed me to be more relaxed at the plate, just feel more comfortable," Schwarber said. Maddon observed Schwarber's production Wednesday was reminiscent of what he has seen from him in the past. "Every time he has hit the ball, he's able to stand there because his balance is so good," Maddon said. Shortstop, however, remains unsettled as Javier Baez started for the fourth time in seven games in place of struggling Addison Russell. Before the game, Maddon defused speculation Baez could replace Russell permanently in the same manner Russell displaced Starlin Castro with two months left in the 2015 season when Castro was struggling in the field and at the plate. "As long as he's healthy and well, he's going to look (sharp) again," Maddon said of Russell, 23, who is batting .209 and is 1-for-11 on this homestand. "I saw it way too much over the past couple of years. "I can't deny it. You're right. He has not played up to his standards at this point. You're right on. But I have a lot of faith in this guy because his mechanics and his fundamentals are that good to me." Thanks to the talents of Baez, the best prescription for Russell's woes could be his work before games he's not starting "as opposed to just trying to push through it," Maddon said. "Without Javy, he would be pushing through it." Despite Russell's six errors and several low throws first baseman Anthony Rizzo has picked out of the dirt, Maddon still likes Russell at shortstop because of his ability to make routine plays. "Watch how (Russell) plays through the ball consistently," Maddon said. "Javy will have his tendency to stay back on the ball. Addison is always playing through the ball." Unfortunately for the Cubs, a 2-1 lead was wiped out in the fourth after John Lackey allowed four consecutive hits — starting with J.T. Realmuto's game-tying home run and ending with J.T. Riddle's two-run single that overcame Rizzo's two-run single in the bottom of the third. The eventual winning run, however, occurred on a third strike from reliever Brian Duensing to Giancarlo Stanton that bounced away from catcher Miguel Montero. Montero retrieved the ball and threw to first for the second out but was late in covering home plate, thus allowing the speedy Gordon to score from second base. -- Chicago Tribune Pitching remains an emphasis as Cubs ponder draft picks at Nos. 27 and 30 By Mark Gonzales With the luxury of two first-round picks in next week's amateur draft, Cubs executives won't have the luxury of going to the beach for the second consecutive season to play over-the-line, a game popularized in Southern California. "We had nothing to do but pull magnets off the board," Jason McLeod, the Cubs head of player development, recalled of waiting until the third round to make their first pick. "It really wasn't fun." With the 27th and 30th picks in the first round Monday, the Cubs will look intently at pitching talent. While they may not go as strong for pitchers overall as they did last year in using 13 of their first 14 picks on them, pitching still will be a focus. "We might be a little more focused on a particular type (of pitcher), rather than cast a really wide net as we have the past couple of years," McLeod said. "But when you look up after Tuesday when we've gone through 20 rounds, you'll see a pretty good mix of pitching again." McLeod emphasized the Cubs would spend their first two picks on players with the "most impact available" regardless of position. "We're not going to try to invent a pitcher," he said. "I would love to be talking to you guys on Monday night and say, 'Hey, we really have a pitcher we're excited about,' but I don't know if it's going to fall that way. We'll take the two best players for the organization." The Cubs could try to strike a deal with their first pick for less than the assigned value of roughly $2.37 million and use the savings toward their later picks as they did in 2014. Many draft projections have linked the Cubs to shortstop Nick Allen of Parker High School in San Diego, but President Theo Epstein declined last week in San Diego to comment on any draft eligible players. Extra innings: Dylan Cease, the Cubs' top pitching prospect who hasn't pitched in nearly three weeks because of an ankle injury, could return to Class A South Bend as soon as next week, McLeod said. ... During reliever Pedro Strop's stretch of nine consecutive scoreless appearances, he has cut down on his tendency to allow inherited runners to score. The biggest difference has been his fastball command," said manager Joe Maddon, who has been using Strop in shorter stints. -- Chicago Tribune Cubs dig everything about Wrigley renovations, and are eager for new dugout By Paul Skrbina Like the construction crews that have been rehabbing Wrigley Field, Kris Bryant often wears a helmet.

    September 10, 2016 Cubs.com Lester, Bryant lower Cubs' magic number to 7 By Brian McTaggart and Jordan Ray HOUSTON -- He could have been an Astro, and on Friday night, Cubs third baseman Kris Bryant served up a reminder of the kind of impact he could have had at Minute Maid Park. Bryant, taken by the Cubs as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2013 Draft after the Astros passed on him with the top pick, clubbed a two-run homer in the fifth inning to back seven scoreless from Jon Lester to send the Cubs to a 2-0 win over the Astros, lowering Chicago's magic number to 7. "It still feels like we're just right in the middle of the season, but we feel like we're getting to baseball that actually really matters," Bryant said. "Anything can happen in the full season, so you've got to get there first, and we certainly feel like we're playing really good baseball right now." The Astros have lost three in a row and remain 2 1/2 games back in the race for the second American League Wild Card spot behind both the Orioles and Tigers, who drew even on Friday with Detroit's 4-3 win over Baltimore. "We did have some chances," Astros manager A.J. Hinch said. "Lester's a good pitcher and he has a way of finding himself out of these jams. We did get the leadoff runner on about half the innings against Lester but couldn't quite get the big hit.
