The Chicago Cubs can play some exciting games to say the least. But a 6-0 win every now and again is fine, these dramatics aren’t always necessary. The Cubs got stellar pitching again across the board and a clutch–if not lucky–infield single from Starlin Castro to help them on to a 2-0 win.
Jon Lester was solid through seven, and the bullpen closed the door on the recently inept New York Mets offense as they recorded their second shutout in as many days. Without defined “roles”, Joe Maddon has called on different players in different spots, and all have answered with solid results.
