Although the Cubs did see some strong starting pitching performances on Sunday, they lost a starting pitcher in Cade Horton (forearm) on Friday. That is undoubtedly the most consequential event from the weekend, and we’ll just have to send up our hopes about his return.

Moreover, although the Cubs got those strong starting pitching performances on Sunday, the bats didn’t do much of anything in game one, and the bullpen blew it in game two. Thankfully, the Cubs eked out that first win 1-0, or things would’ve been REALLY bad after the 6-5 loss last night.

Lots to unpack throughout the day. In the meantime, if you missed any of the action on Easter Sunday, here are your two highlight packages from the double-header:
