It was funny watching Stephens round first after his hit. Freddie Benavides was pointing at the bag and saying, "Right here!"

Congrats to Jackson Stephens upon winning your first big league game. Not many pitchers do that. Hopefully about 200 wins more coming while you are a Red.

The Cubs had runners at first and third with nobody out in the second inning. Stephens fooled Javier Baez on a 76-mph slider, and then got an inning-ending double play when he fanned Albert Almora Jr., also on an offspeed pitch. Barnhart threw out Addison Russell at second on the strikeout to end the inning.
"I was trying to keep a zero on there," Stephens said. "If I gave up one run, I was like, 'OK, get the next guy and we'll get out of this.' Tucker did a great job throwing them out after a strikeout. It was just bang-bang. I got excited. I was fired up. Just helping the team keep a zero on there, I just felt like it gave confidence for the rest of the team."

There isn't much more in the world I like than beating the Cubs and their jackass fans.
