Let’s just forget last night happened and move on with faith that scoring eight runs will be enough to win most games. Well, as long as the bullpen gets shored up a little bit. The pitching staff has already suffered several injuries, the latest of which was to its collective stride, but things should level out over time.
Ben Brown came on in relief when he made his season debut, then worked as the bulk man his next time out, and now he’s the official starter. The Cubs could really use some length out of him in this one, but he’ll need to be efficient.
