WELCOME to today’s episode of Cub Tracks news and notes™, a greatest-hits collection of Chicago-style beat writers and bloggers, ground from #Cubs, #MiLB, and #MLB baseball, overheated, steeped in writers’ tears, and then cold-brewed overnight for maximum flavor.
Ben Brown (0-0, 3.72) looked to continue his skein of recent pitching performances, facing Boston’s Josh Winckowski (1-1, 4.20). Winckowski came in averaging more than a strikeout an inning (18 in 15 innings pitched) versus 8 total walks.
