Ian Happ appears to be starting one of his patented hot streaks.
After a home run in Monday’s loss, Happ went deep twice Tuesday in Philadelphia. That, along with long balls from Dansby Swanson and Michael Busch, helped the Cubs to an 8-4 win over the Phillies Tuesday evening.
The Cubs had pretty good chance to score in the first inning off Mick Abel. With one out, Kyle Tucker walked and Seiya Suzuki singled.
But Pete Crow-Armstrong hit into a double play to end the inning. About that, from BCB’s JohnW53:
Pete Crow-Armstrong had not grounded into a double play this year until he did so in the first inning, in his 281st plate appearance.
