The Rundown: Javy Is Hot, Rizzo Blames Hotel Bed For Back Woes, Cubs Third on Forbes’ List of Most Valuable Teams

Javier Baez had a good day, huh?

First he got engaged to his longtime girlfriend Irmarie Marquez (he was actually engaged on April 4, but he kept it a secret until yesterday). Then he went yard twice in the Cubs’ 13-5 drubbing of the Pirates last night at Wrigley Field. That gives Baez four home runs in the last two games. He’s good, right?

Two games.

When Baez hit his first bomb, I thought it was a little odd that Pirates manager Clint Hurdle elected to pitch to him with first base open and Jason Heyward on deck.
