It’s no secret that everybody’s going to be watching this series specifically. It’s going to be a fun one,” said former Chicago Cubs first-round draft pick Cam Smith.

Cam Smith hit a three-run homer in his first game against the Cubs since being traded to Houston and Brandon Walter threw six solid innings in his first MLB victory as the Astros beat Chicago 7-4 on Friday night.

Cam Smith said there was no bad blood facing the Cubs, but admitted his big game against his former organization "did feel a little special."
