Another lousy start from Zach Davies. Cubs hitters struck out 13 more times and didn’t produce much offense.
But it was enough, just enough, for a 3-2 win over the Reds Saturday afternoon in Cincinnati. We will take what we can get, and the month of May starts on a high note.
Davies did not start out well. The first two Reds to face him got hits, and thanks in part to an error by David Bote, two runs scored in the first inning. Due to the error, only one of the runs was earned.
