In their first interleague game of the simulation season, the Chicago Cubs (9-8) were burned by a pitcher they once had on their free agent radar. Alex Cobb out-dueled Yu Darvish, giving the Baltimore Orioles (6-11) a much-needed 7-4 victory on Tuesday at Camden Yards, via MLB The Show 20.
The Cubs took an early lead, as has been typical of them this season. Bryant walked to start the game and moved to second when Javier Baez walked with one out. Kyle Schwarber then drilled an RBI single into right-center, putting Chicago in front 1-0.
