Javier Assad's four shutout innings in relief of starter Marcus Stroman helped the Chicago Cubs stay in the game and rally to beat the Colorado Rockies 6-3 on Saturday at Wrigley Field.
Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner celebrates in the dugout with teammates after scoring on an Ian Happ double during the first inning against the Rockies on Saturday at Wrigley Field.The Cubs put Assad back in the bullpen Saturday with Marcus Stroman’s return to the rotation against the Colorado Rockies for his first start since July 31.
Stroman looked good in the first inning, striking out two of the three Rockies he faced, but he battled through a three-run second. He left runners on the corners in the third to keep the deficit at 3-0. Ross opted to turn to Assad in the fourth rather than send Stroman back out at 64 pitches. “I mean, he’s been incredible the whole year,” Stroman said. “This is something for me to build off of going into my next start. ... I felt pretty good. I felt like I didn’t make some quality pitches in the second inning, but overall for not being out there for a while I felt really good. I felt like I was able to make some pitches when I needed to, but my mechanics just came and went at times.”
