Chicago's 14-3 win over Florida brings them back into the tie for fourth with the Reds. However, since the Cubs don't play until the evening tomorrow, should the Reds sweep the series with a win in the afternoon, they'll have fourth all to themselves for no less than five or six hours. It would also set them up well for the more difficult legs of this long-ass road trip.

Quite a win today with Luke Hudson holding the Pirates to one run through six innings. I don't know who that guy was posing as Hudson earlier this season, but I'm glad he's gone.
