The Atlanta Braves turned the tables on the Chicago Cubs tonight on ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball, dropping the Cubs record to 6-9 on the season.
From the outset, it was clear that things were not going to go the same way as they had on Saturday afternoon. Kyle Hendricks was having trouble missing bats early, the wind was blowing out, and the Braves were demolishing pretty much every pitch. After a first-inning where Hendricks gave up too many hard-hit balls, the Cubs were already down 6-0.
The Cubs did manage to fire back in the bottom half of the 1st inning.
