The Cubs welcomed the Astros to Wrigley Field for the first of a three game series Tuesday night. Chicago put on a power display in the opening inning and built a lead that was never really challenged, eventually winning comfortably.
The Cubs went ahead three hitters into the game when Cody Bellinger hit a majestic two-run home run to right field off of J.P. France. Then a walk and a single put a pair on base for Mike Tauchman, who went the opposite way for a three-run dinger into the basket in left.
