The Chicago Cubs have gotten an insane amount of mileage out of their bullpen. Where the starting pitching is still in need of some serious help, the relief corps has thrived, getting great results out of nearly every arm to step on the mound. At the back end, their big three of Ryan Tepera, Andrew Chafin and Craig Kimbrel are among the most valuable relievers in all of baseball.

That is until Monday night. In a tied game against the Brewers, Tepera uncorked one of the ugliest innings in Cubs history, allowing four runs to score in the eighth before Trevor Megill was crucified for another six.
