This game started and ended with just, well\u2026 A LOT.<\/p>\n
In the first inning, Christopher Morel launched a double off the left field wall and was immediately scored on a basket home run off the bat of Willson Contreras. And in the eighth inning, Contreras was removed from the game after being hit by a pitch, then the Cubs added a little insurance, and finally Harrison Bader (because of course) hit a two-run, 9th inning homer to bring the Cardinals within a couple runs.<\/p>\n
THE he supposed<\/em> it felt like the Cubs were in control for most of the night, but you never can tell with the Cardinals.<\/p>\n But stressful or not, it sure counts as a win!<\/p>\n And the Cubs offense absolutely popped tonight: 12 hits and 5 walks against just two strikeouts (!) Plus homers from Ian Happ (from the right side!), Frank Schwindel, and Contreras. Schwindel had an especially solid night, going 3-4 with two very important RBI and 2 runs scored, including an 8th inning sacrifice fly. Dude has turned it WAY up lately, and it’s been very fun to watch.<\/p>\n
