It seems that if the Chicago Cubs David Bote goes a few games without being the focus of the offense, he has an innate ability to make that happen. Bote hit two home runs, then got plunked, causing a fracas on the infield. No punches were exchanged as it was a relatively quiet incident. But former Diamondbacks player Daniel Descalso seemed to be as irritated as anyone. Being a former teammate, maybe he knew something we didn’t.
With Bote’s performance and the Cubs victory, it kept Yu Darvish from being the central story of the game, although he did get the win in 6+ innings of work.
