Here at CUB TRACKS NEWS AND NOTES™, we like to keep things brief on the principle that it makes us appear wise. We don’t always, but we like to.
Our old friend Trevor Cahill started Friday’s game, and was in a generous mood, leaving a lot of pitches over the plate. The Cubs’ suddenly renascent offense took a little advantage of this munificence, scoring a run in each of the first three innings.
In the meantime, Zach Davies looked a bit better, hitting the outer edges of the strike zone, where even hard-hit balls tend to find defenders waiting.
