ST. LOUIS – Cubs leadoff hitter Ian Happ sent the first pitch of the game on a trip over the right-field fence. It proved to be a sign of good things to come for the team Wednesday.
Everything fell into place from there, as the Cubs overtook the Cardinals by a score of 8-0.
“This is, you know, our brand of baseball,” Happ said after the game. “Baserunnign was great, defense was great, you have [starter Matthew Boyd] on the mound doing his thing, bullpen did a great job, bats were fantastic. Everything was clicking tonight.
