“As long as you’re groovin’, baby, there’s always a chance.” – Marvin Gaye, Got to Give it Up
I promise to never disparage the Cubs’ bullpen after watching the Pirates implode in the final three innings of Wednesday’s game. Chicago entered the 7th inning trailing Pittsburgh 10-3 before an offensive onslaught led them to a 14-10 win. Headlining the comeback effort for the Cubs was catcher Christian Bethancourt, who drove home seven runs, six in the final three innings. Bethancourt started Chicago’s rally with a two-run homer off Kyle Nicolas in the 7th and then doubled home two more runs in the 8th off Aroldis Chapman.
