June was not the Cubs month, but thankfully, the calendar has flipped to July (Happy Birthday, Luis!) which wipes the slate clean … or something. I don’t know. I’m just trying to be hopeful.
Although there have been some big individual performances (Jason Heyward) and some other exciting moments (Adbert Alzolay), there’s also been plenty of losing. Let’s hope that all changes tonight, as Alzolay takes the ball in his second big-league start (third appearance) since being called up a couple weeks ago.
And after the game, you can stick around with Luis and I for our newest episode of Outside the Ivy. Go Cubs.
