The Cubs are putting the league on notice that they aren’t taking this 60-game season lightly. They continued to keep the good times going in Wednesday’s 6-1 win over the Royals for their sixth straight win.
The role the Cubs’ rotation has played getting them off to such a hot start can’t be understated. The starters have been the engine that has carried the Cubs to a Major League-tying 10-2 record. Whether they have a large lead or a small one, it hasn’t changed the way they have got out to do the job.
Yu Darvish (2-1) kept the line moving for the staff in Wednesday’s victory, tossing seven innings of one-run ball on just five hits.
