Last night’s game looked like another disappointing performance…until it didn’t. After being no-hit for more than seven innings, the Cubs rallied back to win the game late and set a franchise record with 18 wins through April. Yes, that’s more than they had in 2016. And hey, they still have one more game left in the month.
Javier Assad gets the nod tonight for the sixth time and he’ll try to get that ERA under 2.00 after consecutive starts with just one run allowed. The righty’s only real weakness thus far has been inconsistency finding the zone, as evidenced by three walks in two games so far.
