Last night’s game started off just how I’d draw up a Cubs win.
They flexed their muscles with Kris Bryant and Anthony Rizzo hitting back-to-back home runs in the first inning. And Jon Lester was pitching like the ace he is.
It was a really nice start to the homestand.
Bryant’s homer was his first at Wrigley Field (second overall), and was the first with the Wrigley bleachers (which opened Monday night) back in operation.
The Cubs’ offense also continued to work counts, driving up last year’s NL Rookie of the Year Jacob deGrom’s pitch count.
