Cubs 7, Astros 2: A good beginning

After a lackluster series split against the Marlins, the Cubs needed a game like their 7-2 win over the Astros Tuesday evening at Wrigley Field to show themselves, and everyone else, that they’re still the strong contending team many expected them to be this year.

Jordan Wicks began the first inning with a couple of strikeouts and then the Cubs offense got right to work. With one out in the bottom of the inning, Ian Happ singled and Cody Bellinger launched one into the bleachers [VIDEO].

That ball: CRUSHED!
