Cubs pitching was pretty good on Saturday across two games. The official line shows only two earned runs across 21 innings of work. That’s getting it done. particularly against a division leading team. The only real blemish was Mychal Givens, who has otherwise been fairly reliable this season. On Saturday, however, he faced seven batters, allowed two hits, a walk, a hit batter and was charged with three unearned runs (thanks to bonus runners). He gets the dubious distinction of tying an MLB record that will almost certainly never be broken. He lost both ends of a doubleheader. Further, he is the first in over 100 years to accomplish the feat without allowing an earned run.
