Unbelievable. Unpredictable. Unforgettable. This one game was each of these adjectives at least three different times on one night.
The Cubs hosted the Philadelphia Phillies on June 6 and I was filling in for David Kaplan hosting Cubs Postgame Live. Kapper missed a doozy. Quintana set the tone for an exciting night with a season-high 10 strikeouts and left the game with a 3-0 lead in the sixth inning. The fun was just beginning. What followed was crazy.
When Quintana left, reliever Steve Cishek took over. Cishek had gone 53 consecutive innings without allowing a home run.
