Blitzed by Sawatski, Cubs, Diamondbacks Sink Further in DS
Riding the 2-hit performance of catcher Carl Sawatski, the Chicago (N) Cubs got a road win against the Arizona Diamondbacks, 12-3, in Game 3 of the Divisional Series. Sawatski went 2 for 4 with a home run, a double, and a walk, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 3 for the Cubs, who now lead the best-of-7 series, 3 games to 0.

A key moment came with no one out in the top of the second. That's when Sawatski hit a sinker from Matt Young for a 2-run home run, putting Chicago (N) up, 2-0.

"You need to show up when your number's called," said Sawatski.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Chase Field in Phoenix.
