Holy cow! The Cubs beat the Royals 10-2 on Sunday behind a dominant start from Matt Boyd (7 IP, 2 ER), three hits apiece from Michael Busch, Alex Bregman, and Ian Happ, and a three-run homer from Miguel Amaya!
Boyd's outing lowered his season ERA to 3.50 and the bullpen tacked on two innings of scoreless relief as new Cub Ryan Zeferjahn struck out two of the four batters he faced.
The North Siders went 7-for-15 with runners in scoring position, and six of their ten runs were scored with two outs.
After an off day Monday, the road trip will wrap up with a three-game set against the Nationals before the Men in Blue head home to kick off a six-game homestand against the Cardinals and White Sox.
The Cubs currently sit 5.5 games back of first place Milwaukee in the NL Central and lead the NL Wild Card race by six games over Arizona and Philadelphia.
119 games down, 43 to go.
Go Cubs go!
