Cubs 12, Rockies 2: Raining runs

We’ve talked a lot here about the awful Chicago weather so far this April (after the warmest February in Chicago history), but if this is what it takes for the Cubs to win, bring it on.

The Cubs crushed the Rockies 12-2 on a chilly, drizzly Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field that brought out less than half the announced crowd of 26,555.

The game got off to an odd start. Charlie Blackmon took advantage of defensive positioning and laid down a perfect bunt for a hit. Then he inexplicably took off for second base and was easily doubled off when Brendan Rodgers flied to right.
