Cubs try to continue the power display in the final against Red Sox

Cubs try to continue the power display in the final against Red Sox


With the chance to achieve their longest winning streak of the season, the Chicago Cubs will record a sweep of their three-game series compared to the Red Sox visit on Sunday afternoon.

After his fourth game in a row with a 6-0 win on Saturday, Chicago (59: 39) now has the best record of the Major League. The Cubs only approved four runs on the four-game route, and the team exceeded the Red Sox 10-1 in the first two competitions in the series.

Five different chicago battery worked on Saturday, including Michael Busch, who reached the 20-Homer brand with the club for the second time in so many years.

“He has just become a complete bat. I think that's probably the best way to express it,” said Cubs Manager Craig Consell about Busch. “He is only dangerous, I think the other teams really start to be there. He is a combination of a good bat, a good discipline and power. I don't know what else I can add. These three things are damn good, so he has a damn good season.”

Kyle Tucker, Matt Shaw, Pete Crow-Armstong and Ian Happ. The 148 Homeruns of the Cubs lead the National League and took second place in the Majors (New York Yankees, 155).

On the hill, four consecutive outstanding achievements have the Chicago Team-Aerma to 3,77, a trend Cade Horton (3-3, 4.45 ERA) hopes to extend itself on Sunday.

The 23-year-old Horton is expected to reach the 11th start of his rookie season and tries to achieve his first victory since June 3. For the last time, Horton allowed four runs in 4 2/3 innings in a 4-2 defeat against the Minnesota Twins.

Horton will compete against the Red Sox for the first time in his young Big League career.

After the Red Sox had made a winning streak of 10 games in the all-star break, they seem to have fallen back on earth in Chicago. Boston has only gathered two additional hits in 18 Innings in 18 Innings.

“Of course we didn't do enough to get traffic. We just didn't do well enough work,” said Alex Bregman, third Baseman of Boston, who is 1: 8 in series.

“We came here when we played baseball quite well and these first two games were beaten. But the best thing about baseball is that they go out there tomorrow and come. I think we have a lot of confidence in this group and we will try to get it back to roll again.”

The Red Sox Hope All-Star Garrett Crochet (10-4, 2.23 ERA) can serve as a stopper on Sunday.

Crochet only approved two runs in 14 innings in July. The 26-year-old Lefty threw a complete conclusion on July 12 in the 1-0 win against the Tampa Bay-Rays. The former White Sox Ace is 0-1 with an ERA of 12.79 ERA in four career (three starts).
