The Cubs have lost three of their last four games as their offense has turtled up for the most part of late. They had a stinker in their loss to the Nationals as well, being held scoreless for just the third time all season. Their fourth shutout loss came just four days later in Detroit, then they managed just one run through the first seven innings in Philly.
Two solo shots and a double to push the Manfred Man across in the 11th were all they could muster, though that was almost enough before the Phillies decided to play small ball.
