The answer adds another compelling twist to the Cubs-Cards rivalry as the two square off down the stretch.
Dexter Fowler, the former Cub who was signed to hit leadoff for the Cardinals because he did it so well for the Cubs, is finally doing just that. Cardinals manager Mike Shildt promoted Fowler to leadoff one month ago. Since then, he's averaging .276 with with a .379 on-base percentage and a .469 slugging percentage. He owns a team-high 22 RBIs during that span.
Cubs president Theo Epstein has downplayed the notion of Zobrist playing every day, but if Zobrist keeps this up, finding reasons to sit him are silly.
