I was a little perturbed that the Cubs couldn’t push across a run in the top of the 4th, and that the inning ended on a one-pitch at bat by Nick Madrigal. MacKenzie Gore had been laboring, and I wanted the Cubs to get him while they could, and/or push him out of the game early.
But then I thought, well, at least the Cubs will get to see him the third time through, and maybe they’ll really get to him then?
Well, Nico Hoerner led it off with a single, and then Dansby Swanson did this:
Glad Gore was still in the game after all!
Hooray for Dansby Swanson, hitting his second of the year. The power is coming.
