After waiting through a 2.5-hour rain delay, the Cubs won easily against an abysmal-looking Reds team last night. The Reds have lost 10 in a row. Can’t say I’m upset to be writing that.
After going through the past couple years of repeated losses to Cincinnati, it’s good to see the Cubs take care of business against an inferior team.
Dan Haren pitched very well, lasting 7.1 scoreless and giving up only three hits. He struck out six and walked no one. It’s likely the final start of Haren’s season — and career (unless he gets a start in the playoffs).
