We’ve seen flashes of great play from Cubs rookies Cade Horton and Matt Shaw this year, but the pair has also struggled at times. Shaw has had long batting slumps. Horton couldn’t seem to put together good outings away from Wrigley Field.
Both had stellar games Saturday night on the South Side. Horton threw six strong innings, plus one out in the seventh, and Shaw homered and drove in three runs as the Cubs evened up the series with a 6-1 victory.
Horton had a couple of glitches in the first two innings — a pair of pitch timer violations.
