The Cubs wound up dropping the Rockies series two games to one despite outstanding starting performances from Arrieta and Lester. I was really surprised by the Rockies pitching and defense, which were both on display in their two wins. Heretofore the Rockies had displayed neither, or at least their pitching had been pretty awful until they left Coors Field. In general, the team's outlook had been projected to be rather poor and it probably still is.
In any case, the Cubs hit the road for three game series against the Cardinals and Reds respectively. Signs are that Javier Baez, who was activated on Saturday, may have turned the corner. He had two productive games at the plate giving Russell and Zobrist days off.
Still, 9-3 is a good start.
