The Cubs were able to survive another close game on Sunday to complete a necessary three-game sweep of the Rockies. Chicago used the home run ball to take the lead and their undermanned bullpen was able to barely finish the job.
The Cubs took the lead against starter Ty Blach in the bottom of the 2nd when Yan Gomes hit an RBI double. Jordan Wicks made his only real mistake in the 3rd inning when Brendan Rodgers hit a two-run homer off of him to give the Rockies a 2-1 lead.
