I suppose the complaint department door should be closed after the Cubs’ 3-1 win over the Royals, but...
Seriously. They didn’t hit with runners on base. It took a couple of extra-base hits from Javier Baez to give the Cubs the win, as well as some solid relief pitching.
So, yay?
Yes, yay. Wins are wins no matter how you put them together, and the Cubs again matched their season high at 18 games over .500 with this victory. It doesn’t seem like they’re having another good year, does it? And yet, here we are.
