The Cubs hung a baker’s dozen on the pope’s beloved White Sox yesterday afternoon, hitting just one homer in spite of the wind howling out all game long. It was a welcome offensive display after more than a few sluggish efforts over their three previous series. We should see more of the same in this one, as winds are blowing out to right at 17 mph with gusts near 30 mph.
Matthew Boyd will need to have that running four-seam working today, but the Sox are among the worst teams in MLB when it comes to hitting lefties.
