In that game, he went six innings, allowing five hits, two earned runs and four strikeouts.

Offensively, center fielder Cody Bellinger is among the Cubs’ best hitters. He has a five-game hitting streak and is 5-for-13 (.385) with a double, home run and three RBI in the three-game series at Tampa Bay this week. He has five multi-hit games in his last 10, including a 3-for-4 performance in a 5-2 loss to Cincinnati on June 2.
