Truth be told, when the Cubs took a 5-0 lead in the second inning of Tuesday afternoon’s game against the Rockies at Coors Field, the first thing I thought was, “More! That’s not enough runs!”
Turned out it was enough runs, as the Cubs scored three in the fifth and two more in the eighth and won easily, crushing the Rockies 10-1.
Cole Hamels got in trouble in the first inning, loading the bases on two singles and a walk, but he got out of the frame with no runs scoring and then the Cubs offense got to work.
