One thing that can get a team back on track after a rough loss like the one Monday is to come back the next day and absolutely annihilate the opposition.
And that’s exactly what the Cubs did, with a 21-hit attack that matched their season high. From BCB’s JohnW53:
They had 21 at Sacramento on March 31 while beating the Athletics, 18-3, then 21 again at Los Angeles on April 12 while beating the Dodgers, 16-0.
