Maybe you were starting to think the Cubs would never score another run without the benefit of a home run.
Tuesday’s game started out that way, with the Cubs nursing a slim lead on a Kris Bryant long ball.
Then they exploded for a four-run seventh, keyed by a two-run double from Joc Pederson. That and yet another outstanding outing from Kyle Hendricks led the Cubs to a 7-1 victory over Cleveland, ending the homestand on a high note.
Hendricks breezed through the first four innings, allowing just a leadoff double in the third and two-out single in the fourth.
