The Cubs and Braves got together in the finale of their series on a chilly night at Wrigley Field on Wednesday. Chicago showcased another impressive starting pitching performance, but the offense struggled to find its rhythm, while the bullpen faltered in the late innings, ultimately failing to secure a sweep..
The North Siders got a gift run in the bottom of the 2nd when Ian Happ singled and advanced to third on a throwing error by outfielder Eli White. Happ came in to score when the struggling Willi Castro hit an RBI single off of Bryce Elder to make it 1-0.
