Randy Dobnak gave up 10 hits and 4 earned runs in 5 innings, and Easton McGee followed with 6 earned in 2 — two pitchers, 10 earned runs, and a game that was over by the 4th. Matthew Boyd went 7 innings, gave up 5 hits, and struck out 3 on 98 pitches, and he was still on the mound because the Cubs led 8-2. Miguel Amaya's 3-run home run in the 7th, his 4th of the year, made it 10-2. Ian Happ's 20th home run and Starling Marte's 2nd — 413 feet at 106.5 mph — were part of an 18-hit night that left 11 runners on base.
