Summary
The Chicago Cubs avoided a sweep in Atlanta with a gritty 2-0 shutout win over the Braves.
Ben Brown delivered his best starts of the season, attacking the zone and keeping Atlanta’s powerful lineup off balance all night. The bullpen took over from there, combining to slam the door and preserve the Cubs’ shutout victory.
In this episode, we break down Brown’s dominant outing, the key bullpen performances, and how the Cubs were able to salvage the final game of the series before heading to the Southside of Chicago tonight.
Can Ben Brown become a reliable piece of the Cubs’ rotation moving forward and can the Cubs start a new winning streak against the White Sox? We preview the Crosstown Classic this weekend at Rate Field before we end the show.
