Who needs Kris Bryant when you have Jonathan Herrera? Now, stop the steam coming out of your ears -- of course the Cubs need Bryant, and I expect he'll start hitting again soon after getting a breather Thursday afternoon.
But his replacement, Herrera, took full advantage of getting a rare start. He drove in the Cubs' first run with a beautifully-placed safety squeeze bunt in the second inning and in the sixth, hit his first home run since July 7, 2013 (and just the eighth of his career in over 1,100 at-bats).
