Synopsis:
Anthony Rizzo‘s three run blast in the fifth inning and a strong outing by Jake Arrieta paced the Cubs to their fifth straight victory (or for the naysayers, a 5-5 record over their last ten games) as they pound the Marlins 10-2.
Cheers & Jeers (my apologies to TV Guide):
Cheers:
- Hitting with runners in scoring position (6-16 on the night)
- Jason Heyward getting three hits (did that happen once last year?)
- Arrieta overcoming a long first inning (I believe 38 pitches) to throw 100 pitches and get into the seventh.
