The Chicago Cubs (8-6) got their three-game weekend series with the St. Louis Cardinals (3-11) off to a good start on Friday. Jose Quintana had a quality start and the offense jumped all over Adam Wainwright in the early innings en route to a 10-4 simulated win, via MLB The Show 20.
Kris Bryant stayed red-hot, drilling a solo homer to lead off the bottom of the 1st inning and give the Cubs a 1-0 lead over the Cards. The offense really got going in the 3rd inning. Wainwright was able to get the first two outs without trouble, but that all changed when Javier Báez reached on an infield single.
