Hey hey! The Cubs beat the Angels 3-2 on Friday behind a quality start from Javier Assad (6 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 4 K) in his first start back from the IL and home runs from Kyle Tucker & Pete Crow-Armstrong!
The homer from Tucker was his first since July 19 and PCA's was his first since July 23. The North Siders have a 14-13 record since July 23 -- hopefully these two sluggers can get back on track for the rest of the race.
Brad Keller (2.37 ERA) continued his recent dominance, retiring all three batters he faced in the 8th, and Daniel Palencia (1.93 ERA) picked up his 19th save of the campaign by striking out two and not allowing any baserunners in the 9th. Keller last gave up an earned run on July 12 and has 14 scoreless appearances (15 IP) since then.
The series continues on Saturday in Anaheim. 129 games down, 33 to go.
Go Cubs go!
