With only one more no-consequence game left, this was as close to a regular season game as you’re going to get. Lineups on both sides were stacked, including Ben Zobrist leading off against a righty.
Cole Hamels took the mound, throwing better than he has in his most recent outings, giving up only one home run to Andrew Benintendi in the 3rd. Hamels also kicked off the Cubs offense in the 3rd with a solo home run, which was followed by a heads-up baserunning play by Kris Bryant as the outfield struggled to catch an Anthony Rizzo pop-up.
