The Cubs started out Saturday just like they had ended Friday, pouring on lots of runs and home runs, despite a temperature 25 degrees colder at Wrigley Field.
Home runs by Michael Busch and Seiya Suzuki led a six-run onslaught off Diamondbacks starter Zac Gallen in the first two innings and the Cubs then got stellar relief pitching in a 6-2 win over Arizona.
