Not sure I'd have guessed that the Cubs would both be within one win of 1st place, AND fielding a lineup with Higgins, Ortega, Wisdom, and Alcantra, with Happ at 2B.  I'd have figured we must be in full tank mode.

Darvish makes Arrieta throw 9 pitches to finally get him out. I miss Yu.

Yu is using Rizzo's walkup song for his AB's too...gotta love that sense of humor...

Sergio Alcantara hits a HR!  3-1 in the 8th.

The way Tepera is pitching right now...he’s making himself a nice bit of money...

Very good.  2 innings pitched, three strikeouts, no hits, walks, runs. 3-1 Cubs top 9.

3 up 3 down for Kimbrel and Cubs win the third, final, and rubber game of the series 3-1.

Nice win.  I would have Heyward batting 8th.  Maybe 7th when Higgins is starting.

I did not even realize there was an afternoon game today.  So imagine my surprise when I learn that the Cubs win the game with Arrieta and Darvish as the starting pitchers.

So, Cubs won 5 of 6 from Padres this season.

Really impressive.

Deeg was right.  Darvish is a loser.  Glad we dumped him.
