Chicago Cubs blanked by the Atlanta Braves in series opener

When it came to the balk from Chicago CubsYu Darvish, no one could believe it. Even the Atlanta Braves announcer has said that there was almost “no way” you could commit a balk to second base. Well, he did. What would follow was a wild pitch, a single, a double and a home run from Preston Tucker that was the deciding factor in the game. It was a tough outing for Darvish. But for the Cubs’ offense struggled mightily, and couldn’t come up with any runs as they were blanked by the Braves.
