Cubs 12, Mariners 1

OSS: The April Cubs are back, and they’ll never lose another game etc etc

Three Four up:

  1. We all laughed at Chris Coghlan getting the nod at the leadoff spot on the day he was reactivated from the DL, and he rewarded said laughter by leading the team in WPA. This was mostly due to the two run single that got the Cubs scoring started before the game turned into an absolute blowout. He also drew two walks.
  2. After an uncharacteristic stretch of poor play, Jon Lester looked more like the guy the Cubs signed in the first place, throwing six shutout innings with seven strikeouts before being pulled with a massive lead.
