CHICAGO — Atlanta Braves switch-hitter Nick Swisher took advantage of the breezy conditions at Wrigley Field on Saturday. But so did the home team. Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler broke a tie with back-to-back solo homers to start the eighth inning, and the Chicago Cubs overcame homers from both sides of the plate by Swisher in a 9-7, comeback win over the Braves — their third straight.
