Video Recap
The Cubs scored 8 runs in the first 3 innings of play by simply overmatching the Reds’ starter Alfredo Simon, who has been sharp against the Cubs in the past. Tommy La Stella, in a spot start to give Dexter Fowler a much-deserved day off, set the tone with the first at-bat of the game: he sat on 6 pitches from Simon, before doubling off the center-field wall to promptly set the plate for Jason Heyward.
