Frank Schwindel. Again.
Interim manager Andy Green joked on Friday that as long as Schwindel kept homering, the Cubs would keep winning. So far, he’s not wrong.
The Cubs extended their winning streak to six games Sunday, beating the Pirates 11-8. That matches their longest winning streak of the season, set May 23-29 against the Cardinals, Pirates, and Reds.
Matt Duffy homered twice for the first time in his career and hit his first career grand slam in the third inning, but he was still upstaged by Schwindel.
“Frank’s just got this thing on repeat right now,” Green said.
