The Chicago Cubs got the early portion of their season back on track by defeating the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night following a disappointing opening weekend series loss to the Washington Nationals.
A huge reason for the victory on Monday was the pitching performance from new Chicago ace Edward Cabrera, who threw six scoreless innings and allowed just one hit and one walk while striking out five as well.
Though it stung to see Owen Caissie — Chicago’s former top prospect, who was the centerpiece of the Cabrera trade — have a huge first weekend, Cabrera being dominant certainly helps. Thought perhaps if Jed Hoyer wants to build an even better rotation amid a couple of rough starts, another deal for a starter could be made here in the early going.
