DETROIT — The Detroit Tigers are a very good team this year, and they own the best record in MLB.
But you know what, the Chicago Cubs are also a very good team this year, and Saturday they showed why, getting an outstanding start from Jameson Taillon and pounding five home runs in a 6-1 defeat of the Tigers in Comerica Park.
Before I get to the highlights of this game, a bit of history from BCB’s JohnW53:
Here’s a statistic you won’t read anywhere else: the Cubs hit five home runs today among seven total hits.
