For the second consecutive day, the Chicago Cubs lost to the New York Yankees. This time, the Yankees didn’t need any late dramatics as they scored five in the first and were in control from there. Brett Anderson followed his worst start of the year with, well, a worse start. He left the game with back stiffness. But let’s be honest, he should have been out of the game well before then. Miguel Montero did continue his hot start at the plate and pitched a scoreless inning while he was at it.
The Cubs bullpen continues to evolve, as Rob Zastryzny was called up and Matt Szczur was DFA’d.
