New Cubs reliever Andrew Kittredge got a dose of his new fanbase’s ire during the Cubs’ 5-1 loss to the Reds on Tuesday.
Kittredge entered with one out in the seventh inning, following Shota Imanaga’s one-run performance, which had earned the left-handed starter a standing ovation as he exited.
The score was tied at 1-1, when Kittredge entered his third outing since the Cubs acquired him at the trade deadline. Then he walked Austin Hays, gave up a single through the left side of the infield to Miguel Andujar, and surrendered a three-run home run to Spencer Steer.
