The Cubs continued their early struggles by dropping two of three to a rebuilding Pirates team that hadn’t won since Opening Day in Chicago. Being outscored 15-3 in the final two games of the series was tough to swallow and things don’t get any less difficult as three games in Milwaukee loom.
The Brewers just scored a total of 18 runs the last two days in a series win over the Cardinals, but the real story for the Brew Crew has been the starting pitching. Brandon Woodruff and Corbin Burnes have combined for 33 strikeouts in just 23.
