That really sucked. That whole day yesterday. Gonna get in some family time today to turn on the smiles.
This is just great pitching on the part of Brandon Kintzler, who entered the night with a .139/.225/.250 opponents' slash vs. left-handed batters. He just got MVP'd by Yelich.
Maddon, on Yelich right now: "It's like a Bonds moment, for me." pic.twitter.com/ny5OmCIyxU

A bright spot in the Cubs clubhouse: Danny Hultzen was all smiles after getting promoted to the majors for the first time. Hultzen was the No. 2 overall pick in the loaded 2011 draft class that featured Gerrit Cole, Trevor Bauer, Anthony Rendon, Francisco Lindor and Javier Báez.
