Davis can do no wrong today.  Homer, HBP (no injury), challenged a call and won, then subsequently walked against former Blue Jays uber-prospect Anthony Gose.

Also haven’t heard the name Gose in quite some time.

I almost feel like Brennan deserves to come up before Canario does again. He has a willingness to go the other way with the ball that most everyone on the big league squad chooses not to do.

My boy Sam McWilliams with a perfect inning and three strikeouts.  Averaged 96.9 and touched 98.  Maybe most importantly he just worked Friday.  The Cubs normally throw relievers every three-four days until they're on the big league radar.
