Berti goes down looking on strike 5

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Berti just struck out on strike 6. Great AB.

[JHBulls]

Called it… internally. 

[SparkMark1]

I love that man

[Hot Sauce]

PCA is the MVP! 

[chibears55]

Just Bring Shaw back already...

 

PCA goes yard, Raise the roof

[UMFan83]

Guess you don't need to go to left to get it out

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Was PCA asking for time??

Nice we’re writing off our top 50 pitching prospect 6 innings into his major league career, fun. 

Lol, my thoughts exactly.

I also love that man

[UMFan83]

PCA now leads the Cubs in home runs wow.

[chibears55]

Cubs gotta lead league for hitting for cycle in an inning 😅

They showed left was zero with with the other directions had a plus

[Brock Beauchamp]

Can we just call this one now? Or do we want to let Horton get another couple of innings?

And it wouldn’t have happened without Seiya. Thankfully he wasn’t traded for a pitcher.

Oh weird, I read something this morning that the wind was blowing out directly to LF.  I guess it was either wrong or the wind changed.

[chibears55]

Cubs went from should of had zero runs on contact plays to scoring 6 😅

[Chicago Al]

This lead should hopefully give a confidence boost for Horton.

Should still trade him, they need a SP more then what he going to provide throughout the season.

Yes, hopefully he settles down and goes 6 

[WhyCantWeWin]

Someone please tell Horton to stop grooving pitches right over the heart of the plate

[Cubs420psd]

It's Miguel Vargas, like c'mon now.

[Hot Sauce]

Everybody take in a deep breath. The kid is gonna be alright.

He's not going 6.  They're going to be lucky if he finishes the 5th.  I don't think his pitch count is going to be much above 80 and he's already past 55.
