CHICAGO \u2013 The Cubs have been waiting for Michael Busch<\/a> to really find his rhythm in the batter\u2019s box this season. There have certainly been signs of offensive life for the first baseman of late, and Busch knows what it will look like as he continues to feel more and more like himself at the plate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cI\u2019m at my best when I\u2019m able to hit the ball the other way,\u201d Busch said, \u201cbut also pull the ball in the air with some good spin.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That is the version of Busch that showed up in Friday\u2019s 6-5 win<\/a> over the D-backs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Busch delivered an opposite-field single in the first inning that got the Cubs\u2019 offense rolling and later drove a double bouncing deep into Wrigley Field\u2019s right-center-field gap. Those were two more data points that offer evidence that the first baseman is finding his footing \u2013 another great development for a lineup already operating as one of baseball\u2019s best units.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Busch\u2019s opening month was mostly cold this year, but no one expected that to last.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cYou look at his track record,\u201d Cubs second baseman Nico Hoerner said, \u201cand who he\u2019s always been as a hitter, and what he did the last two years for us, and I think it\u2019s fair to expect just a lot more of a good version of him.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Hoerner pointed to Wednesday in San Diego, where Busch connected on a 98.3 mph fastball from Padres closer Mason Miller and flew out to the warning track in center field at Petco Park. The result was not there, but it was a deep pulled fly ball against one of the Major League\u2019s elite back-end arms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In Friday\u2019s win, Busch had a trio of hard-hit balls with a pair of positive results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Hoerner led off with a double in the first inning \u2013 before exiting with a minor neck issue<\/a> in the next frame \u2013 to help set up a bases-loaded chance with two outs against Zac Gallen. Busch then attacked an elevated 1-1 fastball over the outer edge of the zone, sending it through the left side of the infield with an exit velocity of 101.6 mph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Busch then flew out to the warning track in center in the third after getting just under a full-count curveball from Gallen. That flyout came with a 101.7 mph exit velo. And then in the fifth, Busch drove a pitch from reliever Ryan Thompson to right-center with an exit velo of 108.7 mph.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWhen I get a mistake, it\u2019s just finding a barrel and hitting something hard somewhere,\u201d Busch said. \u201cThe last couple weeks have been a little better for me.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Busch helped spark the first of two three-run outbursts for the Cubs, backing a solid start from Colin Rea and overcoming a comeback bid by the D-backs’ lineup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It marked the sixth time in Busch\u2019s career that he had at least three balls in play each having an exit velocity of 101 mph or higher. In fact, this was only the second time this year a Cubs player achieved that feat. Mois\u00e9s Ballesteros also had three balls in play at 101 mph or higher on April 7 against the Rays.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Busch\u2019s showing on Friday pulled him out of an 0-for-11 funk over the previous three games, but that recent drought is misleading in terms of the recent progress from the first baseman. Prior to that mini outage, Busch had hit .308\/.379\/.462 over the preceding 13 contests (after posting a .118\/.220\/.157 slash line in his first 14 games this year).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

It has all amounted to a .203 average and a .598 OPS so far through 31 games for Busch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cMichael is kind of yet to just get on the good streak that kind of puts him back to where he needs to be,\u201d Cubs manager Craig Counsell said. \u201cThe [last] homestand he obviously had some big, big swings and got it going a little bit. But over the bulk of the season, he\u2019s been off to a slow start.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cWe were going to have that conversation about somebody, right? That\u2019s just how a season works.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Positive regression is also very much a part of a season, and Busch found some in Friday\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

\u201cHis at-bats were really good,\u201d Counsell said. \u201cThe takes were really good. That\u2019s always a good sign. Very good day for Michael. Obviously, the hit in the first was a big one \u2013 a really big one \u2013 to play with the lead. Good day. Hopefully a good step forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
