After losing three straight games to conclude February, the Cubs have now won two games in a row to kick off March. Monday afternoon, the Cubs welcomed back a familiar face who spent the last five seasons as their skipper.
Unfortunately for Joe Maddon, his former team spoiled his return to Sloan Park by defeating his new team 9-4. (Box Score)
Why the Cubs Won
Kyle Hendricks and Jeremy Jeffress were sensational through their four combined perfect innings of work. In total, the Angels failed to produce their first baserunner until the 5th inning, when they earned their first walk of the game.
