After a loss on Wednesday and an off-day on Thursday, the Chicago Cubs (26-13) returned home to Wrigley Field and got back in the win column against the struggling Washington Nationals (16-21). José Quintana tossed a gem while the Cubs offense jumped all over Stephen Strasburg early, earning a 4-1 victory via MLB The Show 20.
It was a marquee matchup on a Friday afternoon, featuring the 2016 World Series champions and the reigning champion Nationals. Quintana came into the game on an absolute tear, having gone 14 2/3 innings over his last two starts with just one earned run allowed.
