Cubs 9, Athletics 2: The bats come alive...
In the end, the final 13 games of the Cubs’ 2024 season might not mean much. Any postseason hopes hang by a very thin thread.
Nevertheless, it’s always nice to see the Cubs smash baseballs all around and out of Wrigley Field, especially with recent batting struggles at home.
Monday night, an 18-hit attack led to an easy 9-2 cruise over the A’s. From BCB’s JohnW53:
The Cubs’ 18 hits were their most in a game at home this season, topping their 17 in the 12-0 no-hit win over the Pirates on Sept. 4. They had a season-high 21 at Pittsburgh on Aug. 26 and had 18 at Washington on Sept. 1.
