I know there are a few stragglers still walking the ledge but I think it is safe for Cubs fans to come inside and relax. Hey, a two-game winning streak! Great starting pitching has been the Cubs’ M.O. when they’ve been at their best, and back-to-back superb efforts by Cole Hamels and José Quintana may be an indicator of good things to come.
The opening game of the Cubs/Angels three-game set featured a stellar performance by Hamels, who whittled his way through the Los Angeles lineup in relatively short order over eight strong innings in the 5-1 victory.
