Holy cow! The Cubs crushed the Blue Jays 16-2 on Friday behind a quality start from from Five-Fingered Brown (6 IP, 2 ER, 4 K), six RBI including a grand slam from Carson Kelly, a 3-for-3 day from Pete Crow-Armstrong, and three RBI from the newest Cub, Justin Dean!
The North Siders posted a seven spot in the first and never looked back, as Ben Brown looked sharp and the bullpen tossed three innings of scoreless, three strikeout, one-hit ball.
The Cubs' offensive outburst included three hits apiece from PCA, Seiya Suzuki, and Nico Hoerner. PCA reached base in all five of his plate appearances, raising his season OPS to .869. He is hitting .433 (1.390 OPS) in June.
It was mostly small ball for the Men in Blue, as just four of their 18 hits went for extra bases (two doubles, a triple, and a homer).
The series continues Saturday at the Friendly Confines.
76 games down, 86 to go.
Go Cubs go!
