They are 11-7 in August. Amaya provided a huge spark from the ninth spot in the batting order, giving the Cubs a 4-0 lead in the second inning with his drive to left against reliever Kenta Maeda (2-6). He also capped a four-run seventh with an RBI single off the ivy in left-center, though he got thrown out stretching for a double. “It feels amazing,” he said. “It’s something that I dream of as a kid.
