On Sunday, the Chicago Cubs closed out an impressive 7-1 homestand after defeating the Cincinnati Reds. Jon Lester picked up the start during the series finale but was unable to record a decision in the process.
Lester yielded four earned runs on six hits across 6 1/3 frames before the bullpen took over. Chicago received run support from their young stars as Javier Baez tallied the go-ahead RBI in the seventh.
Baez has proven to be not only a talented defensive player but a clutch hitter. A full 360 as the infielder had an issue with striking out in his first few seasons in the majors.
