It wasn’t a textbook win last night, but it was a big win.
Miguel Montero set the tone in the bottom of the first, blasting a three-run home run, and the Cubs never really looked back.
However, starter Tsuyoshi Wada struggled for the second straight outing, lasting only three innings and giving up three runs, two walks and four hits.
But after Wada’s poor start, the bullpen took over and locked down the Reds. Travis Wood, Justin Grimm, James Russell, Pedro Strop and Hector Rondon pitched six scoreless frames, surrendering only two hits total.
So will we see a change in the rotation?
