Chicago CubsCHICAGO (AP) — Ian Kinsler had five hits, including a home run, and the Detroit used a three-run eighth inning to rally for a 10-8 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday night.

Nick Castellanos had a two-run single and J.D. Martinez added a sacrifice fly in the tie-breaking eighth.

Martinez and Anthony Gose also homered for the Tigers in a game that was delayed for 2 hours and 17 minutes after a strong thunderstorm hit with one out in the bottom of the third.

Anthony Rizzo singled in Dexter Fowler to tie it 6-all in the seventh as the Cubs rallied from four runs down. But they lost their second straight following a nine-game winning streak. Chicago’s eight-game home winning streak also ended.

Rookie Kyle Schwarber launched a three-run blast, his ninth homer in 35 games, and Chris Coghlan hit a two-run shot for the Cubs.
