Michael Busch Reaches Three Times In Friday Matinee

Michael Busch went 2-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in the first game of Friday's doubleheader against the Red Sox, a 4-3 loss. The Chicago first baseman has three multi-hit performances over his last six games, pushing his season batting average to .241 with a .748 OPS. Busch remains limited against left-handed pitchers, and the Cubs will likely try to shield him from those matchups in the postseason, though he figures to be a regular as they begin their playoff march.
