OSS: Aggressive Cubs baserunning is just enough to snag the inverted M.
Three up:
- It was a scoreless and speedy affair most of the night, and the Cubs took the lead after Russell took third on a wild pitch and aggressively dashed home after an errant throw. Russell was on second to begin with thanks to even more aggressive baserunning on what I thought for sure was a run of the mill single that was cut off by Cutch.
- Ian Happ scored the other Cubs run from first base on a double hit by Caratini.
