Before Friday’s game even began, it was Willson Contreras Day at Wrigley Field, as the Cubs catcher was honored with a bobblehead giveaway:

And then, once the game did get underway, in cloudy, windy and drizzly conditions, Contreras had the best offensive game of his career. He homered twice, including a grand slam, and drove in seven runs to help lead the Cubs to an 11-2 crushing of the White Sox, their fourth straight win.
