It’s Getaway Day, which means a full slate of afternoon baseball across MLB. The Cubs are shipping up to Boston after this one and it sure would be nice to do so on the wave of a sweep. The first game was a pretty easy victory and the second was a nail-biter that saw them barely hang on after producing all of their offense in the opening frame. How about a blowout in this one?
Javier Assad has proven capable of holding his opponents down, with no more than two earned runs allowed in any of his four previous starts.
