Mr. April got his first post-April hit today in the Cubs' win to sweep the Astros
With Lee out today, did Micah take advantage? You bet he did starting with a 2-out RBI single to drive in the first run of the game. He also had another hit and a walk to improve his BA to .313 and OBA to .370. He now has 9 RBIs in 48 ABs. Keep it going Micah!
Although Bradley went 1-for-4 to increase his BA and drove in a run, he struck out in another BIG SPOT in the game that nearly cost the Cubs. With nobody out in the 8th, the Cubs had 2nd and 3rd while holding on to a 2-run lead. A simple base hit would have provided a bit more cushion but Bradley struck out looking as did Mike Fontenot and Geo Soto to end the inning with no damage. Luckily, they came through in the 9th to get some insurance runs before the bullpen tried to give it away with 3 runs allowed themselves.
Cubs WIN! Cubs WIN! So other than the give-away game against Tim Lincecum on Tue, the Cubs have now won 6 of their last 7. Not bad, but they're still chasing the Cards who continue to play well without their best pitcher - Chris Carpenter. I guess you just attempt to keep it giong and hope the Cards come back to earth a little bit.
