Skipper Joe Maddon and this red-hot Chicago Cubs team will begin a brief three-game weekend “road trip” this afternoon when they travel to the South Side of the city to take on the Chicago White Sox.
Yesterday, this offense blasted off with a total of five home runs – three of which came during the fifth inning. Dexter Fowler, Kyle Schwarber, and Anthony Rizzo each deposited one in the bleachers that inning while Schwarber added another during the seventh which extended the Cubs (65-48) lead to 7-2 over the Milwaukee Brewers.
