OSS: Cubs beat the Cardinals, a week too late
Three up:
- Alec Mills had another solid fill in start, striking out nine in five innings and allowing just one run. He’s made the most of his time in the bigs this year, posting a 2.75 ERA across 36 innings, including five starts and pushing some folks to wonder if he might find his way into the rotation next year. Let’s not forget that he posted a 5.11 ERA in his other 100 innings this year in AAA. The PCL was an insane hitters league this year, so a small grain of salt, but he’s likely to be more like a swingman next year.
