Hey hey! The Cubs beat the Giants 5-1 on Friday behind a quality start from Javier Assad (6 IP, 0 ER, 5 K), two hits from Seiya Suzuki, and a three-run homer from Michael Busch!
Assad allowed only three hits while walking one and has looked sharp since returning from a brief stint in Iowa. On the offensive side, the Men in Blue have gone 5-for-11 with runners in scoring position in their last two games, a nice departure from a 1-for-18 mark in their previous three games.
Our very own CMN regular RyneMaiden was in attendance – she got to see Buschy's homer leave the park on its way to McCovey Cove – a "splash hit". Nice work cheering on the North Siders, RM!
The series continues Saturday in San Francisco.
70 games down, 92 to go.
Go Cubs go!
