OSS: Cubs bats wake up on the road, for once.
Three up:
- The Cubs bats actually came up with some big hits on the road, a rare occurrence these days. Javy Baez and Addison Russell both homered off of Marcus Stroman, who is a pretty dang good pitcher.
- The real MVP of this game, however, was Yu Darvish, who continued his second half tear by striking out seven in eight innings, allowing just a solo HR to future ROY Pete Alonso. He did walk his first batter in over a month though, so I guess that contract is back to being a bust.
