Hey, look! The Cubs beat the Royals 9-4 Saturday evening mainly on the strength of Patrick Wisdom’s pinch-hit grand slam in the seventh inning, and in so doing scored as many runs in this game as they had in all seven previous games since the All-Star break combined.
And I know this is supposed to be a happy recap and oh yes, it will be, but this game was also infuriating because you saw within: Timely hitting, good defense and good relief pitching and that raises the question: Why can’t this group of players do this all the time?
