The Cubs beat the Rockies 8-6 on Wednesday at Wrigley behind a nice start from Javier Assad (5.2 IP, 2 ER) and a seven-run second inning outburst that proved to be just enough to secure the victory.
Assad has put up a 0.72 ERA in May and June, and a 1.00 ERA in his three starts since being added to the starting rotation in June.
Seiya Suzuki, Ian Happ, Matt Shaw, and Carson Kelly each had two hits on the night while both Pete Crow-Armstrong and Dansby Swanson homered.
The win gave the North Siders their second series win in a row. The homestand wraps up this weekend with a three-game set against Toronto.
75 games down, 87 to go.
Go Cubs go!
