After Phillies pitching stifled the Cubs offense for the most part over the weekend, it was a refreshing sight to see the Cubs offense come out in force Tuesday night. It was what you hoped would happen and happen it did. After being mowed down the first time through the order, the Cubs offense bombarded the Pirates over the game’s final six innings.
The only real issue that the Cubs had in a walkover win Tuesday night was an injury to Shu014dta Imanaga. Even at that, Imanaga finished five shutout innings before leaving in the sixth. He allowed a double to start the sixth and then left with what turned out to be leg cramps, so it’s likely not serious.
