A week after getting no-hit by Cole Hamels and the Phillies, things are looking a bit better for the Cubs.
They’ve won four in a row against teams they should be handling with ease. Anthony Rizzo homered in each of the wins, giving him 20 on the year.
I don’t think it’s too much to ask for Rizzo to homer in every game for the remainder of the season. The Cubs would probably win most of those games, too.
Kyle Schwarber added his fourth home run of the year after taking the first 5 pitches he saw in his 7th-inning at-bat.
