After another subpar outing, Cubs reliever Adbert Alzolay was met with a chorus of boos by the fans in attendance at Wrigley Field as the third Brewers run crossed home plate. But this wasn’t a regular boo for a bad outing. The fan’s jeering came almost out of frustration with the former closer.

Alzolay’s three-runs allowed in the eighth inning was the difference in the Cubs’ 3-1 loss to the Brewers. This week hasn’t been encouraging for Alzolay after he allowed a three-run home run on April 30 vs. the Mets, though the runs were unearned.
