Another nice victory
Harden looked shaky early but dominant late. Offense in the first inning was all the Cubs needed. And they took advantage of some gifts.
Here’s hoping Lilly doesn’t get smacked around like he did last time in Houston and they get the sweep.

Not sure
Seemed that way, though. It was kind of a shock to not see that lead-off walk.

Sure seems like it but actually
He pitched two awesome innings in a Cards game saving Marmol’s ass.

True.
Had forgotten about that. Had to put out Marmol’s fire and then shut ’em down in the 9th, as well.

I still hate seeing all those guys LOB
but at least we’re getting them there, and pushed enough over. Nice game by Harden.

I think we clogged the bases too much tonight

Theriot - interesting note
He’s only the second player in the past 70 years to end a home run drought of at least 600 at-bats by homering in consecutive games, joining former Cub Gene Clines more than 30 years ago.
