After a frustrating end to the Tampa Bay series that saw the Cubs squander a late chance to walk off the Rays for a series sweep, the Cubs have taken 2 of 3 from San Diego with Kyle Hendricks on the bump later tonight. Positives: Amaya is back up and raking, Stro continues his dominant ways and Taillon is starting to look like the guy we were hoping he was. Friday night brought an encouraging night from the Cubs' pen, specifically Adbert Alzolay working his way out of trouble and Mark Leiter Jr. striking out Soto, Machado and Cronenworth in an incredibly impressive bottom of the 9th. Steele hit the IL but hopefully not for long and Bellinger continues working his way back, though the Cubs don't expect him back on this west coast road trip. Let's climb our way back to .500 and not look back, shall we?
