After sweeping the Angels in Anaheim, the Cubs (76-58) did a complete 180 in San Francisco and got swept by the Giants. Chicago’s offense continued to struggle, scoring just eight total runs in the series. They look to finish the road trip on a winning note with three games in Denver against the Rockies starting Friday.
Colorado (38-96) is 16-22 in the second half, which is a substantial improvement over the 22-74 debacle in the first half. The offense has not gotten much help from the hitters’ paradise of Coors Field with a .684 team OPS that is the fourth worst in baseball.
