A relatively peaceful night for the bats overall, who put a decent quantity of traffic on the bases against old pal Brett Anderson, but didnt push much throughout in the way of damage. Even the 2 runs in the 6th mightve been an entire lot more with a timely hit or two.
Full box score.
The Cubs win once again. I might really get utilized to this. I have, in fact.
Yu Darvish had everything working this evening, consisting of a no-hitter through six innings. It wasnt up until Justin Smoaks solo homer in the 7th that Darvish quit a run or a hit, however he was quite near best.
Rowan Wick got the save chance in this one, most likely because Jeremy Jeffress tossed last night, and got the job done, even as things got just a bit touchy in the 9th. He remains extremely plainly A Guy.
