Left fielder Ian Happ was careful not to overstate the impact of the Cubs’ offensive surge on Saturday.
“It’s baseball, it’s tough, every day is hard,” Happ told the Sun-Times after the game. “You put up nine one day, it’s not like, ‘Alright, we clicked it, everything’s good, we’re going to put up nine every day.’”
Sure enough, the next day, the Cubs only scored two runs.
Oscillating between offensive boons and ruts over the past week, the Cubs have been threatening to break out of their collective slump.
