Several times over the last couple of weeks, I’ve written words to the effect that the Cubs got “solid starting pitching, timely hitting and good bullpen work” in posting a victory.
I could get used to doing that. They did it again Tuesday night against the Dodgers: Another excellent outing from Jose Quintana, key hits by several Cubs, and relief work by Kyle Ryan that shut things down after Steve Cishek let L.A. briefly think they were back in the game.
All of that resulted in a 7-2 Cubs victory on a coolish, but not unpleasant, evening at Wrigley Field.
