The Cubs dropped the opener of a three game series to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. This is my second post of the season and the Cubs are 0-2 on games that I am recapping. Here’s to a win next week!
Lost Opportunities
After falling behind the Pirates in the 6th, the Cubs had great opportunities to cash in with some runs in both the 8th and the 9th innings. The Pirates have been struggling this year with work out of the bullpen. They currently sit 6th highest in relief ERA in the majors at 5.94. With that being said, the Cubs could not muster a run across the plate to get any closer.
