OSS: Cubs thump Pirates, hopefully turn the page on the dumpster fire road trip.
Three up:
- The Cubs sent Jameson Taillon packing with a little help from Pirates shortstop Kevin Newman, who had three errors in the second inning. Jon Lester, of all people, drove in the first run at Wrigley in 2019.
- The game was out of hand at that point, but Kyle Schwarber homered against a lefty. Hopefully this will help with seeing him in the lineup more often, rather than this Zagunis platoon that Joe seems set on.
