A Tip of the Recap – May 19th
The Cubs gave away the game to the Padres and lost by a score of 4-3 last night.
The Good
Dexter Fowler and Chris Coghlan provided the punch for the offense last night. Fowler hit his 4th HR in the 3rd and Coghlan hit his 5th in the 3rd inning then hit his 6th in the 9th off of Craig Kimbrel.
Unfortunately though, all 3 HRs were of the solo variety and it wasn’t enough after all the errors the Cubs made later in the game.
Jason Hammel deserved better after going 7 innings and giving up 2 unearned runs on only 3 hits and no walks with 8 Ks. It was a dominant start and he deserved the win. His control this year has been outstanding with a 49/6 K:BB ratio.
