"The Cubs did not skip a beat in the first game of their road swing, beating the Rangers easily by building a big advantage in the middle innings and coasting to a 10th consecutive victory. It was a nice change from some of their recent wins."
"They got to opposing starter Kumar Rocker in the opening frame with a bloop double by Michael Conforto, followed by an RBI single from Ian Happ. Seiya Suzuki later connected on a two-run homer to expand the lead to 3-0."
"Ben Brown got the spot start for the North Siders and was brilliant, giving up just a walk in four frames. The Rangers scored their only run against Ryan Rolison in the bottom of the 5th on an RBI single by Justin Foscue to cut the deficit to 3-1."
"The Cubs loaded the bases with Quantrill on the mound in the 7th, and Michael Busch whacked a three-run double with two out to bust the game wide open. Javier Assad provided 3.2 scoreless innings of relief and Ethan Roberts covered the bottom of the 9th as Chicago finished off the 7-1 win."
