CINCINNATI – Mike Tauchman raised his hands over his head as he shuffled back to first base. And the cheers from the visiting Cubs fans at Great American Ball Park swelled into a chant: “Let’s go Cubbies.”
In a game that the Cubs would go on to win 15-7, the momentum swung wildly in an eighth-inning rally. The change was palpable after Tauchman’s two-run single that put the Cubs up by four runs. But the Cubs kept adding on, in an offensive performance that set them up well for a seven-game homestand against the Giants and Diamondbacks this week.
