The Cubs used Drew Pomeranz as an opener on Saturday to help give Ben Brown more of a relief role at least mentally and boy did it work. Ben went 6 shut out innings striking out 9 and only walking 1 while also only giving up a single hit. The outing allowed Ben Brown to lower his season ERA from 6.35 to 5.72 and is hopefully a step in the right directon toward his future as a Major League starting pitcher.
The wind made for a tough day on the bats but that didn't stop Seiya Suzuki from doubling in Ian Happ. Nor did it stop Dansby Swanson from hustling to beat out an infield single which enabled Kyle Tucker to score an insurance run. Brad Keller and Daniel Palencia pitched two scoreless frames in a row with the latter picking up his 5th save. The Cubs will try to win the series Sunday with Jameson Tallion on the mound as the calendar turns to June!
