Now that’s the kind of ballgame I like. Beautiful, sunny summer weather, pleasant temperatures, a little lake breeze, fast pace, solid defense and one freaky inning that gave the Cubs a 2-1 win over the Diamondbacks. (At 2:39, this game was the 11th-fastest of the 2018 season for the Cubs.)
Jon Lester was solid through six innings, allowing just three hits and at one point retiring 11 straight D-backs. He was helped out in the second by this nice snag [VIDEO] by Albert Almora Jr. in center field.
