CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo went deep in the third inning and Starlin Castro connected in the fourth. Mike Olt broke it open with another big swing in the eighth. It was a powerful end to a difficult city series for the Chicago Cubs. Rizzo, Castro and Olt homered, and the Cubs stopped a four-game slide with a 12-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Thursday night. "We had some good at-bats, some big at-bats in some key situations," rookie manager Rick Renteria said, "and then we got some thump, got some balls hit well." Rizzo had three hits and scored three times as the Cubs salvaged the finale of the four-game set against their crosstown rivals. Olt, Ryan Kalish, Nate Schierholtz and Junior Lake had two hits apiece in a game that took 4 hours, 7 minutes. The Cubs put it away with five runs in the eighth, highlighted by Olts first career grand slam. Maikel Cleto also hit Welington Castillo with a bases-loaded pitch, ending the White Sox bullpens shutout streak at 23 1-3 innings. Olt also batted with the bases loaded in the third and popped out to shortstop. "I was upset with myself because with less than two outs Ive got to at least get someone in, move someone over," he said. "Ive got to do my job. To get another chance late in the game and come through like that definitely helped." The Cubs finished with 15 hits after managing just five runs and 12 hits in the first three games against the White Sox. "We did more damage than them today," Rizzo said. Alexei Ramirez had four singles for the White Sox, who had won four in a row. Conor Gillaspie went 2 for 4 with a walk in his first action since he was activated from the disabled list Wednesday after being sidelined with a bruised left hand. The White Sox got Adam Dunn back after he missed a game due to a bruised right calf, but rookie slugger Jose Abreu was hampered by a left ankle injury. Abreu, who is off to a terrific start with 12 homers and 35 RBIs, hobbled down the line each time he put the ball in play. "He just seemed like he was limping a little bit tonight, thats why in the end there I (took) him out," said manager Robin Ventura, who had Marcus Semien hit for Abreu in the ninth. "But he says hes fine." Abreu did not speak with the media after the game. The Cubs jumped on Scott Carroll (1-2) for four runs in the third, sending 10 batters to the plate. Luis Valbuena singled in Kalish before Rizzo hit a drive to centre for his seventh homer. Lake added a bases-loaded walk to make it 4-2. Rizzo also walked and scored when Castro connected in the fourth. Castro went 1 for 15 with two walks during the Cubs losing streak. Carroll departed after Olt and Lake started the fifth with consecutive singles. The 29-year-old rookie was charged with 11 hits and six runs after he pitched well in each of his first two major league starts. "It was just a situation where I didnt have my best stuff tonight," Carroll said. "I left a few pitches up when I obviously didnt have the ability to do so. Kind of just fighting it the whole time." The White Sox got two runs back in the fourth on RBI singles by Gillaspie and Tyler Flowers. But five Cubs relievers combined for five innings of one-run ball after Jake Arrietas shaky outing. Brian Schlitter (2-0) got five outs for the win. Arrieta allowed four runs, three earned, and nine hits in four innings. He pitched 5 1-3 scoreless innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday in his first start of the season. NOTES: White Sox ace Chris Sale (left arm) felt fine after throwing a bullpen session Wednesday, and Ventura said the left-hander probably will throw again on Saturday. "Hes progressing. He doesnt feel anything," Ventura said. "In talking to him, he says everything feels good." Ventura said he thinks the team will have a better idea this weekend about a rehab schedule for Sale. ... Cubs general manager Jed Hoyer said Jeff Samardzijas 126 pitches on Monday night "is just a story that should probably die." He said the front office, Renteria and Samardzija are all on the same page. ... The Cubs send RHP Jason Hammel (4-1, 2.43 ERA) to the mound when they open a weekend series at Atlanta on Friday night. RHP Julio Teheran (2-2, 1.80 ERA) is slated to pitch for the Braves. Clearance NBA Jerseys .

Cheap Nike Basketball Jerseys . -- Canadian mens rugby coach Kieran Crowley has made four changes to his starting roster for Saturdays Pacific Nations Cup clash against the United States.ROME - Pep Guardiolas Bayern Munich lineup is finally starting to resemble his Barcelona team that revolutionized football not too long ago.Arjen Robben scored twice as Bayern routed Roma 7-1 on Tuesday for a club-record away win in the Champions League, showing the German club is once again among the favourites to take the title.Having taken target practice in a 6-0 rout of Werder Bremen at the weekend, it was more of the same from Bayern early on at the Stadio Olimpico with five goals in the first half.It seemed like watching Barcelona again, with small, rapid players running all over the place, Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi said.Robben put the 2013 champion ahead nine minutes in with an expertly curled shot from a tough angle, before Germanys World Cup hero Mario Goetze doubled the lead in the 23rd and Robert Lewandowski made it 3-0 in the 25th.Again taking advantage of poor defence from Ashley Cole, Robben scored his second goal on the half-hour and then Thomas Mueller added a penalty in the 35th after Kostas Manolas was whistled for a handball at the edge of the area.Gervinho pulled one back for Roma in the 66th, 10 minutes after hitting the post, but then substitutes Franck Ribery and Zherdan Shaqiri added more goals for Bayern.Bayerns previous biggest away win in the Champions League was a 5-0 victory at Sporting Lisbon in the first knockout round in 2009.Guardiola took over Bayern last season and, although he secured the Bundesliga title, his club lost on 5-0 aggregate to Real Madrid in the Champions League semifinals.Last season we had the legs but not the mindset, Guardiola said. We needed to decide things a split-second quicker and now were doing that.The transfer of midfielder Xabi Alonso from Real Madrid has added more Spanish flavour to Bayern.Hes one of the most intelligent players Ive coached, Guardiola said.The outcome matched Romas heaviest defeat in the competition, a 7-1 loss at Manchester United in the 2007 quarterfinals.This is a fluke, Guardiola said. Its not normal to win 7-1.Bayern has nine points atop Group E, five clear of Roma..ddddddddddddManchester City has two points and CSKA Moscow one.Earlier, City wasted a two-goal lead in a 2-2 draw in Moscow.The only good news tonight came from City and CSKA, which allowed us to stay second in the group, said Roma coach Rudi Garcia, who took responsibility for erring in his tactics and acknowledged that his squad should have sat back more.Tonight they were better than us. We were spectators, Garcia added. It shows us we have a way to go to reach the level of the worlds top squads.Bayerns win extended the unbeaten streak for Josep Guardiolas club to 12 matches in all competitions, with the last loss to Borussia Dortmund in the German Super Cup in mid-August.Roma entered full of confidence after a strong start in Serie A but its lack of experience in Europe was glaring — the Giallorossi are back in the Champions League after a three-year break.Weve got to look for the positives. This could be a lesson that helps us in the future, Roma midfielder Daniele De Rossi said. Theyre clearly superior but we could have done better. I dont have a clear explanation for why we conceded all these goals.Robben set the tone with a world-class goal, fooling Cole and curling a shot inside the far post.Then poor defence left Goetze alone to score from the edge of the area following a backheel pass from Mueller, two minutes before Lewandowski was left unmarked to head in a cross from Juan Bernat.Garcia replaced Cole with Greece defender Jose Holebas at halftime and also pulled captain Francesco Totti for Alessandro Florenzi but the damage was done.Gervinhos scored by finishing off a counterattack with a header following a cross from Radja Nainggolan.Ribery then collected a pass from Robben and scored with a lob shot in the 78th and Shaqiri added a rebound in the 80th after Morgan De Sanctis failed to collect a shot.Despite the rout, Roma fans applauded their club at the final whistle, while the 5,000 Bayern fans in attendance celebrated wildly.The teams meet again in two weeks in Munich.___Andrew Dampf can be followed at www.twitter.com/asdampf ' ' '
