Hey, know what? Some of these sub Cubs can play baseball pretty well, and against a good team, too.
The Cubs began Tuesday 14 games behind the Reds and in free fall, on a 12-game skid.
But they got outstanding pitching from Kyle Hendricks and three relievers, and just enough offense from Ian Happ and Frank Schwindel to end that losing streak with a nicely-played 2-1 win.
So, yay?
Heck yes, yay, it felt good watching it and I’m sure it felt good to the players.
The Cubs broke a scoreless tie in the top of the third.
