Cubs 8, Braves 3

OSS: Cubs get some clutch hits, cruise to victory against another playoff contender.

Three up:

  1. Willson Contreras had the two biggest hits of the day by WPA, driving in the Cubs first two runs by homering in the second inning and knocking in Javy on a RBI single in his next PA. He also prompted a kerfuffle with his first HR to to words /gestures exchanged with Tyler Flowers and/or the Braves dugout. The crowd certainly let Flowers have it when he struck out in the next inning.
  2. We got good Jon Lester in this one, striking out seven with no walks in six innings.
