The Rundown: Ben Zobrist’s Return, Billy Ripken Declares Cubs Dead, Wild Finish in Washington

Well, Ben Zobrist is back and he had a typical Zo-like game yesterday, grinding out at-bats, getting on base, setting the table for the guys behind him, and of course scoring a few runs.

The Cubs won the game 6-1, and looked every bit as good as they played when BenZo was last active. There were a few caveats, however. Jon Lester needed to wriggle out of three bases-loaded jams and Jason Heyward grounded into that 4-3 putout like he practiced it every day after school during his formative years.
