CI Recap (7/24/18) – Cubs 1, Diamondbacks 5: Cubs Offense Shut Down for Second Straight Game
The Cubs dropped their second in a row against the Arizona Diamondbacks on a warm Tuesday evening.
Kyle Hendricks struck out eight, allowed five hits, walked a pair, and gave up three runs in five innings. But Hendricks had to chuck over 100 pitches just to get through five innings, forcing Maddon to go to his bullpen early.
Just like in the first game of the series, Cubs batters did not muster up any offense, as they were mystified by Clay Buchholz and the DBacks’ bullpen this time. The only run was courtesy of Jason Heyward, who hit a rare oppo taco basket shot in the bottom of the sixth (box score).
