The Cubs have released a statement on Addison Russell.

Russell statement: "Any allegation I have abused my wife is false & hurtful. For the well-being of my family, I’ll have no further comment.”

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

So Montgomery is in the rotation, but for a reason other than we had hoped. https://t.co/fZs6ZqOLVw

Javy usually eats those middle in pitches for dinner.

Kyle Schwarber's 3rd inning double: his first hit that wasn't a Home Run since May 17th. #Cubs

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

That would've broken my pelvis but I'm not Giancarlo Stanton.

First inning runs on John Lackey...drink.

Addison Russell is first among shortstops with 11 DRS this season. Jason Heyward leads all outfielders with 8 DRS.

Arrieta: "I was relying, pretty much, exclusively on the sinker because it was really good tonight."

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

Rondon locks up, Cubs win fifth straight to improve to 30-27. A week ago Cubs fans were panicking. "Go Cubs Go" blares tonight at Wrigley.

Hard contact from Bryant, Rizzo and Heyward in the 7th as Cubs lead 6-2. Since Locke fell apart in the 5th, Cubs have been pounding it.

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

Nobody. Beats. The. Rizz.

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

Quiet one through four innings with only three total hits. Only run came on a Marlin's fielder's choice in the first.

[Let's Blog Two! @LetsBlogTwo]

Arrieta escapes down just 1-0. 34 pitches in the first inning. He's averaging 5.7 innings per start this year.
