OSS: Cubs offense scores a disappointing eight runs, manage to win anyway.
Three up:
- Kyle Schwarber got things rolling with a three run homer in the first off of Kevin Gausman, who is actually not as terrible as I remembered after looking at his career stats. War Bear leads the team with 37 home runs, though sadly not 37 in a row.
- Jason Heyward continues to shake off the curse of the leadoff spot, homering and walking twice in this game.
- The bullpen was…solid….again (?) after another early exit by a Cubs starting pitcher.
