The Cubs got the London Series off to a rousing start on Saturday with a beatdown of the Cardinals behind big offensive output and a gem from Justin Steele. Now they sent Cy Young contender Marcus Stroman to the mound with a chance to run his quality-start streak to eight straight. Good day for a sweep, innit?
I’m having a pint in a pub to prepare for the game and wasn’t initially going to type out the lineup, but the little wrinkles made it worthwhile. David Ross is shifting Nico Hoerner to the leadoff spot with a lefty on the mound, then it’s Seiya Suzuki in right and Christopher Morel in center.
