On Friday, the New York Yankees opened up a series with the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.
The Yankees won by a score of 2-0.
Tony Andracki of The Windy City Breakdown wrote: “FINAL: Yankees 2, Cubs 0. Shota Imanaga and the Cubs pitched well Friday, but Will Warren and the Yankees pitched better. A Yankees lineup without Judge, Stanton, Bellinger and Chisholm put up enough offense to win, while Cubs hitters struck out 10 times.”

Cobb was picked in the 37th round of the 2019 MLB Draft.
He has spent all three seasons of his Minor League career with the Yankees.
SWB RailRiders wrote (on July 3): “Owen Cobb knocks in his first Triple-A RBI! 👏 The infielder has five hits since being promoted from the @SOMPatriots on June 25 — with three of them being doubles.”
While Cobb is not a major prospect, he is worth paying attention to for Yankees fans.
