Holy cow! Cubs win! Cubs win! Cubs sweep!
The first place Cubs drubbed the D-Backs 8-4 on Sunday behind a quality start from Matt Boyd (6 IP, 2 ER, 5 K), a Mo Baller blast, and four RBI from Michael Busch.
Five Chicago batters each tallied two hits, with Busch reaching base in three of four plate appearances (2-for-3, BB, 2B, 3B). Ballesteros' 2-for-4 day lifted his season average to .317 (.978 OPS) while Nico Hoerner's 2-for-5 day brought his average to .301 on the season.
The win was the Cubs' fifth in a row and eleventh straight at Wrigley.
The second-place Reds come to the Friendly Confines Monday to kick-off a four-game set that will wrap up the North Siders' homestand.
34 games down, 128 to go.
GO CUBS GO!
