It got late early Saturday night, as the Cubs jumped on Brayan Bello for three runs thru two innings and never gave up a run on the way to a 6-0 victory. About the only thing that went right was keeping Reese McGuire hitless. He can get his own jollies.
Three Studs
Bryan Bello
Yes, he got knocked around early, but he was in command after that, looking incredibly strong late, ending with those same 3 runs thru 6. What are ya gonna do?
Masa Yoshida
He had two hits.
Abraham Toro
He also had two hits, and a nifty play at first.
Three Duds
Chris Murphy
The game was basically over
when he came in, but gettin’ taken deep three times in an inning isn’t what you want.
Reese McGuire
Sad.
Not Seeing Ryan Brasier
He pitched the ninth. Marge is proud.
Play of the Game
Pete Crow-Armstrong could win the MVP so it’s probably this:
Pete Crow-Armstrong's solo home run (26) Pete Crow-Armstrong's solo home run (26)
