Where have these runs been all week?
The Cubs scored more runs in the eighth inning Sunday in Cincinnati — seven — than they had scored in any full game over the previous six, and that stood up for a 12-5 win over the Reds and a split of their four-game series.
This game did not start out this way. The Cubs scored bunches of runs early, but Jameson Taillon gave up equal bunches. That isn’t good, and before I get to the review of this game I’m gonna say this, let the proverbial chips fall where they may.
