The Cubs followed up a poor effort on Monday that looked way too much like the norm of late with a doubleheader sweep in which they looked very much like the better team. Now they carry a series lead into tonight’s game, giving them a chance to secure a winning record against MLB’s best team this season. They could also make the division look a little more competitive, but one step at a time here.
Colin Rea can help the Cubs take the first step with another solid outing like the one he had against the Pirates just a few days ago.
