Cubs Face Skubal After Big Win | Chicago Cubs News

The Cubs just dropped a firecracker of a win on Monday, crushing the Dodgers 10-5 with four homers at Wrigley — a statement win after big deadline moves. Now they face Tarik Skubal, the ace they reportedly chased, in his Dodgers debut. Skubal’s high-90s fastball and devastating change-up make him a nightmare for hitters, but the Cubs’ new outfielder Tyrone Taylor could be key — especially against lefties. Manager Counsell says Taylor’s got major playing time ahead. On the mound? Javier Assad, who’s been shutting down opponents with low walks and high strikeouts. Can he keep it together against Skubal’s elite arsenal? Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
