M1 — Quick work for Lester in the 1st. Groundout leads to inning-ending double play.

E1 — Brett Anderson (who was awful in his Cubs stint in 2017) gets through the 1st on the mound for the A's. Rizzo nearly beats out a throw to 1B on a grounder but is called out.

T2 — A's getting to Lester early. Former Cardinal Piscotty drives in a run w/ an RBI base knock. A few ABs later, Garneau smacks a 3-run bomb out to LF.

T2 — Lester might not be on the mound for too long tonight. 2-run single by Olson gives A's a 6-run lead. Lester looks to the Cubs' dugout & shakes his head in disbelief.

T2 — Caratini in place for tagout at plate, but runner slides into his mitt & knocks the ball out. Caratini a little shaken up & grasping at his left hand, but he seems to be OK. That would be disastrous for the Cubs to lose yet another catcher to injury.

E3 — Cubs get a couple of baserunners, including Lester (who reaches on error). KB flies out to end inning.

T5 — Taylor Davis in at catcher after Caratini's hand injury. Caratini moves to 1B. Rizzo gets some rare rest in the blowout.

T6 — One positive of the blowout is it's giving Underwood a chance to get some quality pitching under his belt. He looks good so far.

B6 — Cubs get on the board. After Castellanos hustles for a double, KB smacks a 2-run blast.

T7 — Holland pitching the 7th for the Cubs. Underwood struck out all 6 batters he faced in a flawless 2-inning outing.

T9 — Wow. Schwarber (the emergency catcher) is catching the 9th, & Taylor Davis (the backup catcher) is pitching the 9th. It's been a while since Schwarber has been behind the plate.

M9 — After loading the bases before recording a single out, Davis somehow gets out of the inning w/o giving up any runs. He'll always be able to say that (for one night) he was a better pitcher than Jon Lester.

B9 — 2-run single by Schwarber. Cubs have quietly collected 10 hits so far tonight. 8-run 2nd inning for A's really skewed this game.

B9 || Athletics 11, Cubs 4

F — Davis flies out w/ 2 men on to end it. Really odd game in that it seemed to be over before it really even got started, yet the Cubs played fairly well in the 2nd half of the contest.
