I always knew the 2021 Chicago Cubs had talent, and that their awful April wasn’t reflective of that talent.
What I didn’t know and you likely didn’t either was that they had backups to the backups to that talent and those guys would produce, too.
The Cubs got a total team effort again on a gorgeous Wednesday afternoon at Wrigley Field and completed a three-game sweep of a banged-up Padres ballclub with a decisive 6-1 win.
