This is the last stop of the season’s first road trip for the Atlanta Braves, which unfortunately has been miserably cold. It continues a homestand for the Cubs that even featured a snow-out that delayed their home opener.
But as for today, Anibal Sanchez took the mound looking to continue his good work since he was picked up by the Braves after being released by the Twins. He was able to cruise through six strong innings, allowing no runs on just three hits with six strikeouts.
Part of what made his outing so successful was the outstanding defense he had playing behind him.
