AROUND THE HORN

■ Cubs: Daniel Murphy and Kyle Schwarber each hit a two-run homer, Javier Baez added a solo shot and the Cubs defeated the Reds 10-6 for their fourth straight win.

Murphy homered for a second straight day and is batting .407

(48-for-118) with nine homers in

31 career regular-season games at Wrigley Field — all but three of them before he joined the Cubs in a trade this week.

Baez was 2-for-4 with a walk and three RBIs. The homer was his 28th and he leads the NL with

97 RBIs.

The NL-leading Cubs have gone deep in 10 consecutive games, amassing a total of

17 homers during that stretch.

■ Yankees: Miguel Andujar homered and had four RBIs, J.A. Happ pitched six sharp innings to win his fifth straight start with the Yankees, a 10-3 victory over the Orioles in the opener of a split doubleheader in Baltimore.

After Andujar drove in a firstinning run with a groundout, the rookie put the Yankees up 5-2 in the third with a three-run shot off Jimmy Yacabonis (0-2).

Brett Gardner, Gleyber Torres and Aaron Hicks added solo shots for the Yankees, who have won six of seven to move a season-high 34 games over .500

(81-47).

Happ (15-6) allowed two runs and five hits with nine strikeouts. Since coming from the Blue Jays in a July 26 trade, the righthander is 5-0 with a 2.37 ERA.

It was the sixth straight loss for the Orioles.

■ Mets: Bryce Harper and the Nationals were shut out for the third game in a row, something that had never happened since the team moved from Montreal in 2005, as Zack Wheeler and the host Mets posted a 3-0 victory.

Amed Rosario and Todd Frazier hit solo home runs to back Wheeler, who pitched seven innings and won his seventh straight decision.

The Nationals (64-66) have already lost more games than they dropped last year in going

97-65 to take their second consecutive NL East title.
