After taking care of some unfinished business at Wrigley Field, the “series” shifts from Chicago to Cobb County as the Braves welcome the Cubs into our own friendly confines for the originally scheduled three-game series.
Yu Darvish will be taking the mound for the Cubs tonight and redemption against the Braves will surely be on his mind. It was a start to forget for Darvish as the Braves ran him with two outs in the fourth inning after he gave up four runs in that inning. It was a particularly disastrous inning as he basically escorted Ozzie Albies to home plate following a double, a balk and a wild pitch, then Preston Tucker launched a three-run dinger to complete the single-inning meltdown.
