Cardinals 6, Cubs 7 (6.14.17)
OSS: Cubs complete the sweep of the Cardinals behind a big day from Ian Happ.
Three up:
Ian Happ launched two homers off of Michael Wacha, driving in more than half the the Cubs runs. One of them even had runners on base. The novelty! Based on what few innings I've seen he looks credible in CF too.
Albert Almora and Stephen Piscotty combined for the other big play of the day for the Cubs, with Almora hitting a two run single that was turned into a two-run triple by Piscotty's misplay.
After a shaky outing by Hector Rondon, Joe went to Pedro Strop for multiple innings and was rewarded for it. Yay, multi-inning relief appearances. If only they translated to a larger bench.
Three down:
