At 23-33, it’s about what we expected from this bunch, but with half a game on the New York Mets, the team is all about finishing “not last.” We also weren’t expecting free agent signees Peter Bourjos, Julio Teheran, and Aaron Sanchez to make much of a splash, but there they are in the starting lineup and the starting rotation, respectively.

Cubs 5, Marlins 4
Aaron Sanchez (1-3, 4.30) acquitted himself nicely at the plate, with a two-for-two day with a run scored and two RBI. Unfortunately, he also surrendered all five Chicago runs on six hits and four walks in 4 2/3 innings, striking out five.
