Cubs 15, Brewers 2: Jake Marisnick has himself a day, and so does the rest of the offense

Didn’t I tell you that this team would start hitting? That they couldn’t possibly be as bad as they looked for the first two weeks of the season?
After losing to the Braves 5-2 a week ago, the Cubs were 5-8 with a run differential of -25.
Since then? They’ve scored at least 13 runs three times and gone 5-1 with a run differential of +28. So that’s completely wiped out the negative run differential of a week ago, and then some, and with the 15-2 drubbing of the Brewers Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, their fourth consecutive victory, the Cubs are back over .500 for the first time since they were 4-3 on April 8. They also moved to within one game of the first-place Brewers with this win.
