Hey hey! The Cubs shut out the Rockies 6-0 on Friday behind a quality start from Taillon (6 IP, 7 K) and a 3-for-4, three RBI day from Suzuki. 

 

Suzuki hit a two-run homer, and Jared Young also added a two-run blast for the North Siders. The bullpen got the job done, as Smyly and Wesneski combined for three innings of two-hit ball.

The Marlins lost to the Brewers in Milwaukee on Friday night, and the Cubs-Rockies series continues Saturday at Wrigley.
