Here we are in the middle of the weirdest baseball season any of us will ever see, and the Cubs are running away with things. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
The Cubs played more solid baseball — with one exception, and I’ll get to that — Wednesday night in Kansas City, and won their sixth in a row, 6-1 over the Royals.
KC took an early lead off Yu Darvish in the third inning on a double, a single and a double play. Meanwhile, Royals rookie lefthander Kris Bubic, making just his second MLB start, retired the first nine Cubs in order.
