The simCubs overcame some locational difficulty (c’mon —all games SHOULD be played at Wrigley!) and also overcame the Cincinnati Reds 6-4, with Kyle Schwarber accounting for two-thirds of the runs with a first-inning granny and Craig Kimbrel giving up a couple in the ninth and getting a save that he wouldn’t have gotten with a clean inning. Jon Lester won his 10th of the season and 200th of his storied career as the Cubs edged one day closer to the postseason.
Some highlights! Brandon Palmer will be discussing the standings and league leaders and All-Star bids and the MLB Draft in his interview later today.
