Cubs 9, Orioles 2: A good beginning

In order to have any real chance at claiming a wild-card spot and not have a selloff this summer, the Cubs have to have a good road trip to Baltimore and St. Louis.

They got that seven-game trip off to an excellent start Tuesday evening with a convincing 9-2 win over the Orioles, leading some to ask, “Where has this team been?”

The answer to that question isn’t as relevant as: “Hope they stick around for a while.”
