Cubs notes on Nico Hoerner's torrid hitting stretch, Jameson Taillon's injury and more by JDietzSports.
Nico Hoerner continued his torrid hitting, going 2-for-5 with a home run and 2 RBIs during the Cubs' 9-4 loss to the Dodgers at Wrigley Field on Saturday.
Hoerner went 4-for-5 during the Cubs' 13-0 victory over the Dodgers on Friday. He followed that by leading off Saturday's game with a base hit and smashing a 2-run HR in the seventh that cut the Dodgers' lead to 6-4. Hoerner, who batted mostly fifth or sixth last season, only had 13 plate appearances in the leadoff spot before this season. He relishes the role and is grateful the coaching staff hasn't tried to change his approach.
Hoerner went 42 straight plate appearances without a strikeout before going down looking in the ninth inning Saturday.
