Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 10, Red Sox 4 – July 15, 2023

That was a big win. Chance for the series win tomorrow against a very hot Boston Red Sox team. Love to see that, and the Cubs need to pull a series like this out if they want to give the front office a reason to buy at the deadline.

Lots of reminders today of things that are still true …

Marcus Stroman is still the king of the Quality Start:

Having young players come up and impact the team is still huge:

Home runs are still the best way to score runs in bunches:

Also, he hasn’t been showing it enough this year – or making contact enough – but Patrick Wisdom definitely still has his power:

These Cubs can still hang with good teams. Gotta keep doing it.

Full box score.
