Hey hey! The Cubs came back to beat the Cards 4-2 in 10 innings on Thursday behind a nice start from Javier Assad (4.1 IP, 1 ER), 5.2 innings of one-run ball from the bullpen, and 10th inning RBIs from Ian Happ and Alex Bregman!
Assad is sporting a 1.50 ERA over his last five outings (18 IP) and lowered his season ERA to 3.86. Relievers Ryan Rolison, Gavin Hollowell, and Jacob Webb continue to shine, as they combined for four scoreless innings and each have an ERA below 2.65.
Nico Hoerner went 3-for-5 and is now batting .311 in July. Pete Crow-Armstrong, Michael Busch, and Bregman each tallied two hits on the night.
The victory gave the North Siders another series win as they head into a seven-game homestand that features three games against the Yankees, three against the Dodgers, and a makeup game against the Jays.
109 games down, 53 to go.
Go Cubs go!
