## Resource

The Cubs are riding high after a 5-2 win in Game 1 against the Orioles, thanks in part to Dansby Swanson’s solid performance. Tonight, they’ve reshuffled the lineup—with Swanson now batting ninth—and are set to face a tough Orioles squad. Despite a slight dip in stats this season, Swanson remains a clutch veteran, posting .211 batting average, 16 homers, and 58 RBIs in 87 games. Can the Cubs keep their momentum alive with Swanson lower in the order? Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
