Cubs notes: Offense takes a break after encouraging week' Amaya seems OK. McGrawDHSports Cubs
After six weeks of miserable hitting performances, Cubs bats suddenly came alive this week, with 41 runs and 55 hits during the five-game win streak.
The Cubs were outhit 14-3 on Sunday. Starting pitcher Jameson Taillon gave up 8 hits, but threw just 73 pitches through 5 innings and the Cubs had a 3-2 lead. So he came back out for the sixth, but quickly surrendered a single to Ryan O'Hearn, double to Aaron Hicks and a sacrifice fly that tied the score.
Amaya seems OK: Catcher Miguel Amaya went to the ground after being hit by a pitch in the seventh inning, but it looks like he escaped injury. After the game, Amaya was packing up his bags for the upcoming road trip and didn't seem to be in any discomfort. Baumann followed that up by hitting Nick Madrigal, giving the Cubs a pair of baserunners with one out, but they couldn't capitalize.
