Wake Up and Watch the Cubs Thump the A’s at Wrigley Field

The Chicago Cubs returned to Wrigley Field last night to open up the final homestand of the year. Shōta Imanaga dominated the A’s, and the Cubs’ bats showed up in force in a 9-2 win.

Things prooooobably aren’t going to go their way at this point, but it is nevertheless encouraging to see a number of positive individual performances from guys who’ll be very important next season. Enjoy the highlights from the win:
