LONDON — I have a confession to make.
This game started at five minutes after midnight London time. I had an extremely busy day, between arrival, clearing Customs and spending part of the afternoon at Westminster Abbey — a must-see if you are ever in London.
Thus I was beyond exhausted before this game even started and so, I did not watch it. Now I understand why European MLB fans don’t like night games!
And so it was a very pleasant surprise to wake up early Wednesday and find that the Cubs had shut out the Pirates again, 4-0, behind yet another excellent outing by Marcus Stroman.
