I could almost repost the recap to Tuesday’s Cubs win over the Marlins and it would serve just as well. For the second straight night, the Cubs got excellent pitching, timely hitting and strong defense. All of that led to their second consecutive shutout and a series sweep, 6-0 over the Marlins, a sweep in which they outscored their opponent 17-2. It was the Cubs’ fourth shutout this year, which leads the major leagues. They’ve got their first three-game winning streak of 2019 and have won seven of their last 10.
Now let’s be honest.
