The Cubs cruised to an easy win last night against the Marlins, using a big inning to provide all their scoring. It’s a good thing they were facing an inferior team because the offense seemed pretty lethargic outside of the outburst that included five of their eight hits. It helps that the Marlins did virtually nothing with their seven hits. There should be plenty of excitement tonight just because Moisés Ballesteros is making his MLB debut.
Ben Brown is on the bump and will take over the team strikeout lead from Matthew Boyd as long as he gets two punches, which is a safe bet.
