That was what today’s 6-4 Cubs win over the Royals felt like, after the Cubs zoomed out to a 6-1 lead after four innings. KC runs scored off just about every Cubs reliever until Adbert Alzolay finally put a stop to that in the ninth inning with his 17th save.
So let’s go back to the beginning, when Cubs were hitting baseballs all over the yard. In the bottom of the first, Nico Hoerner reached on an error (after a review showed he was clearly safe) with one out. One out later, Cody Bellinger deposited a baseball into the bleachers [VIDEO].
