Victory Over Braves Takes Chicago to 11-5
|
The Chicago Cubs relied on the hitting of center fielder Michael A. Taylor to stop the Atlanta Braves, 8-5. For the game, Taylor went 2 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 3. Masahiro Tanaka earned the win to go to 2-1. He allowed 3 earned runs on 8 hits, with no walks and 7 strikeouts. The Braves drop to 5-9 and continue their inconsistent start to the 2018 season.
The Cubs got a big at-bat from left fielder Justin Upton. For the game, Upton went 1 for 4 with a home run, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. In the bottom of the first, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 8th home run of the season gave Chicago a 2-0 lead.
"It's nice to come out on top today," said Upton.
