Ian Happ’s two RBI’s help the Cubs take their second game in a row against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Jose Quintana made another start for the Cubs going 6 strong innings and allowing 2 runs in the process. Quintana has continually positioned the Cubs to get wins in games that he has pitched as of late. Minus a few consistency issues, the talent that Theo Epstein so coveted is there. This will be Quintana’s fourth win since joining the North Siders before the trade deadline.

As mentioned earlier, Ian Happ had himself a day. He go the Cubs scoring started in the first with an RBI single that scored Jon Jay from third. Happ later added a solo home run in the 4th inning. Javy Baez and Anthony Rizzo each added an RBI of their own later on in the game.

The Cubs will send out Kyle Hendricks tomorrow looking to take the series sweep before heading off for another series with Cincinnati. First pitch is set for 1:20pm CST tomorrow. You can catch the game on WGN.
