I’m starting to sound like a broken record, but the Cubs had a chance to build on a big win over the Nats when they faced the Reds Friday. Guess what? The Northsiders fashioned another flat effort and fell back to the break-even mark.
Both starters, Mike Montgomery and Scott Feldman, looked sharp early. Neither team got much of anything on offense the first three innings on Friday.
The Reds finally got to Montgomery in the 4th inning, as Billy Hamilton doubled to start but was gunned down by Albert Almora Jr. trying for third. Zach Cozart singled and Joey Votto hit a seeing-eye grounder past Anthony Rizzo for a double.
