Compare Z's stats to what the bullpen has been doing in the 7th and 8th innings. Yeah, small sample size but my guess is that bullpen had averaged giving up more than a run in the 8th.
Otherwise, Z didn't do a good job compared to an average reliever but compared to Cubs relief - he's the second coming.
