Last night’s win was a bit too close for comfort, especially considering it was against a potentially historically bad team a day after another close win over said team. But unless you stake your assessments on run differential, a win is a win regardless of who it comes against by how much. And so, the Cubs now have a chance at another sweep after walking the Rockies off in the second game.
Matthew Boyd pitched a bit of a stinker last time out against Cincinnati, giving him just two rough starts on the season. That most recent effort was his shortest of the season at just four innings, the first time he failed to complete five, but he still needed 93 pitches to grind it out.
