The Whitecaps dismantled the Cubs 9-0 behind a standout performance at the plate, with Clayton Campbell driving in four runs to lead the way. Whitecaps improved to 54-60 while the Cubs dropped to 66-46. The teams meet again Thursday.
The Whitecaps got rolling early, scoring the go-ahead run in the top of the 2nd when Stephen Hrustich doubled to center field and Campbell crossed the plate, putting the visiting team in control for good.
Campbell went 3-for-5 with a home run and four RBIs, anchoring a Whitecaps attack that out-hit the Cubs 9-3 on the night.
It was a complete offensive dominance that sent the Cubs home empty-handed and sets up a Thursday rematch between the two clubs.
The Whitecaps are losers of 5 straight, 4-6 over their last 10. The Cubs are coming off a win, 6-4 over their last 10.
The Whitecaps are up next home vs Chiefs (Aug 27-29). The Cubs are up next at Timber Rattlers (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
