The Cubs got a much-needed victory Friday afternoon at Wrigley to snap a four-game losing streak. Chicago built a huge lead on Cleveland in the middle innings and coasted to a stress-free blowout.
Nico Hoerner put the Cubs ahead with a two-run bases-loaded single off of Cal Quantrill in the 3rd inning. Jared Young continued his instant impact, bringing home a pair on a triple in the 4th. An RBI single from Mike Tauchman and a sacrifice fly by Christopher Morel gave the home team a 6-0 advantage by the end of the frame.
