It's safe to say the Chicago Cubs demolished the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night after a 17-0 win at Progressive Field.

The 17-0 was the biggest shutout in Interleague history, topping the previous record by a run. Until yesterday, the biggest win was a 16-0 rout of the Oakland Athletics over the San Francisco Giants during the 2005 season.

The Chicago Cubs hit four HRs, collected x hits and scored 17 runs but the star of the night was no other than rookie Kyle Schwarber. The highly-touted prospect didn't hit a grand slam like Kris Bryant or didn't launched it out of the park like Anthony Rizzo or Addison Russell - Schwarber only notched four hits in his first MLB start and his debut will surely be one to remember.

After striking out in his lone at-bat on Tuesday's game, Schwarber looked comfortable and mature beyond his years. He acknowledged things would get better - he was quoted saying that things "can only go up from here" - and based on what happened last night, he showed an advanced approach that should allow him to be a productive hitter once he reaches the Majors for good.

Schwarber was locked in all night long. The catching prospect - who played as the DH in this game - sent a pitch from Shaun Marcum down the first base line and into the right field corner for an RBI triple in his first at-bat. He also had an RBI single in the third, a leadoff single in the seventh and another one in the ninth inning. Schwarber ended the day going 4-of-5 with two RBIs and three runs scored.

Joe Maddon was clearly impressed with the way the rookie handled himself at the plate and acknowledged he has a natural talent that's being used in the right way.

"He had good swings," Maddon said. "I really like the hard base hit to the second baseman's right, towards the middle. This is a kid that's a good hitter that knows he's a good hitter and does it in the right way."

Even though his debut was as good as it could have been, Schwarber is not expected to be with the Cubs much longer. He's expected to be the team's DH over the Interleague stretch this weekend and after Sunday's game he will report to Triple-A Iowa to continue working on his catching.

As a result, the Cubs will have a few days to enjoy Schwarber. But considering they have almost all of their prized rookies at the MLB level, these few games can be a future look of how Chicago's offense might look over the next few years.
