Well that was fun!
The Chicago Cubs put up a seven-spot in the second inning of tonight’s series opener in D.C., culminating in Cody Bellinger’s 14th home run of the season. Here’s how the scoring happened (brief version): Isaac Paredes single, Nico Hoerner Single, Dansby Swanson Single, Wild Pitch, Pete Crow-Armstrong 2 RBI double, Miguel Amaya groundout (PCA to third), Ian Happ “RBI” fielder’s choice (PCA made an excellent scoring play), Michael Busch RBI Double, Seiya Suzuki strikeout …
Cody Bellinger !
Statcast had that one at 101.7 MPH off the bat, continuing Bellinger’s power resurgence since returning from the injured list. This Cubs offense, man. It has been FUN.
Here’s PCA’s double, since I know you want to see it:
