The Cubs traveled to Arizona to start a series with the Diamondbacks at Chase Field Monday night and, per usual with games in the desert, it was a bizarre extra-innings affair. Unlike last September’s sweep by the snakes, however, Chicago was able to grab the victory in the 11th inning.
Michael Busch continued his insane homer streak hitting a solo shot off of Merrill Kelly in the 2nd for his fifth consecutive game with a longball. Ben Brown got the start and was outstanding, allowing only a Jake McCarthy RBI single in six innings of work Monday.
