atWhitecaps at CubsThe Whitecaps got past the Cubs 5-2 on the back of Clayton Campbell's two hits and solid pitching. West Michigan improved to 55-60 while Chicago fell to 66-47. The teams meet again Friday.
The Whitecaps took down the Cubs 5-2 in a game decided by run production over volume. Campbell went 2-for-4 to pace West Michigan's effort, and the pitching held up when it mattered most.
The Cubs actually out-hit the Whitecaps 7 to 6, but could not convert that advantage into runs. Nazier Mulé was strong on the mound through 5.1 innings with just one earned run and six strikeouts, but lacked the support he needed.
West Michigan improves to 55-60 while Chicago drops to 66-47. The two meet again Friday.
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.
