US EditionTucker and Assad Power Cubs to a 4-3 Win over the Rockies
Javier Assad earned his first win in nearly a year after six innings, helping Cubs extend their winning streak over Rockies to five games this season.
- After a 20-minute weather delay due to nearby lightning, the Chicago Cubs edged out the Colorado Rockies with a 4-3 victory Saturday evening at Coors Field.
- The Cubs recalled right-handed pitcher Javier Assad after Jameson Taillon moved to the injured list due to a groin injury, and Assad returned from a strained left oblique.
- Assad pitched six innings, allowing three runs and seven hits, aided by two double plays and facing the minimum through the final three innings to earn his first win in almost a year.
- Kyle Tucker led the Cubs offensively by securing two hits, reaching base four times, and scoring twice, while Ezequiel Tovar contributed two hits and an RBI sacrifice fly that brought the score closer at 4-3.
- The Cubs extended their lead to two games over San Diego in the NL wild-card standings and maintained a perfect 5-0 record against the Rockies this season, while Colorado has struggled with eight losses in nine games, partly due to the challenges of playing at Coors Field’s high altitude.
