After a long afternoon of odd baseball happenings (a “space oddity,” maybe?) at Wrigley Field, all it took was a bases-loaded walk to David Bowie David Bote and the Cubs won the ballgame 6-5 and the series over the Reds, a much tougher series than any of us might have expected.
Lots to unpack here, so let’s get started!
The Cubs scored first. We are not used to seeing that! Kyle Schwarber walked and Ian Happ singled to lead off the second, and Addison Russell smacked a double to right to make it 2-0 Cubs.
