Cubs 6, White Sox 3: Jorge Soler had two RBIs, and Addison Russell doubled twice to help the Cubs win their ninth straight. “I’m sure he’s going to tell me he was just trusting his instincts and he was forcing them to make a play”. “It looked like it took a pretty good hop when it hit the dirt on the infield”, Zunino said. “It was just unfortunate this happened”.
Salazar has a 3.26 ERA on the season, and has won 10 against six losses, in 21 starts.
“Embarrassing. That was embarrassing”, Hernandez said. “I know what I need to do to get outs. Any time we do it and they see something, I’m always, ‘Go ahead and take care of it, ‘ right when you do”. He was responsible for 10 runs on 12 hits and a total of three home runs. “It’s just a bunch of guys going up, having a great approach, not missing their pitch”. It was a bad outing for Felix.

Diamondbacks 8, Braves 4 – Patrick Corbin continued to gain momentum in his return from Tommy John surgery, allowing only three hits and no runs while pitching into the seventh inning as visiting Arizona beat Atlanta. There are all kinds of stories, rumors, game coverage, and Vines of dudes getting hit in the beans every day. Now, just a couple weeks later, many are of the mindset that the Red Sox should trot out an outfield trio of Bradley, Mookie Betts and Rusney Castillo while moving Hanley Ramirez, one of the worst defensive outfielders in recent memory, to first base. We can not feel sorry for ourselves.
