I don’t have an answer as to why the Cubs play so much better at home than they do on the road, but I’m doing backflips because they continue to make attending games at Wrigley Field an enjoyable experience for their fans. In sweeping the Brewers, Chicago played like they were closing out a playoff series as they were nearly perfect in every facet of the game in beating Milwaukee 7-2.
Yesterday’s pitchers, a combination of hurlers who have had their share of troubles this year and last, were positively dominant. That included starter Yu Darvish, who earned just his second victory at Wrigley Field, and Tyler Chatwood, who picked up the three-inning save.
