Ben Brown’s Cubs future just took a nosedive after another brutal outing
Kansas City Royals v Chicago Cubs | Michael Reaves/GettyImagesBen Brown made his return to the Major League roster on Monday night, and the result was one that Chicago Cubs fans have become all too familiar with. After using Ryan Brasier to pitch the first inning during Monday's loss to the Kansas City Royals, the Cubs turned to Brown with the hope that a bulk appearance could get his career trajectory back on track. That wasn't the case as Brown was tagged for 7 runs (6 earned) on 7 hits in 4 innings of work.
After the game, Craig Counsell's assessment is one he has had before regarding Brown and his struggles at the Major League level this season.
