A Tip of the Recap – August 8th

The Cubs took their 3rd straight game from the Giants and have now won 9 out of 10 after the 8-6 win Saturday.

The Good

The bats were working against Matt Cain; the Cubs put up 8 runs on 11 hits and 6 walks. Every starter had at least 1 hit, while Kyle Schwarber (2 hits) and Addison Russell (3 hits) each had multi-hit days.

Dexter Fowler had a normal post-break game, going 1 for 3 with a triple (his 5th), a run scored, an RBI, and a walk. He is locked in and, with no real answer at CF in the system (Albert Almora is not ready), I hope the Cubs bring him back next year.
