The Chicago Cubs score 14 runs in the final two innings for a blowout comeback win over the Washington Nationals. M_Montemurro has more.
Going 10 days between two starts required some adjustment to Jameson Taillon’s typical routine thanks to the All-Star break.
The Cubs scored six-plus runs in an inning twice in the same game for the first time since June 17, 2015, at Cleveland. It also marks the first time they’ve done that in back-to-back innings since May 5, 2001, against the Dodgers. “Up and down the lineup, everybody contributed,” manager David Ross said. “These guys have been putting in a lot of work and grinding a little bit lately. It’s nice for that to break open and add on.”
The Cubs must build on an all-around good win and carry it into Wednesday’s series finale. Stacking wins is a must at this point, something that has eluded the Cubs too often this year.
