A rare bad day won’t change the fact that the Cubs boast what has been, arguably, the best bullpen in baseball.
But it was a bad day Saturday, as the Cubs threw nothing but relievers at the rival Cardinals and suffered an 8-6 loss.
Lefty Drew Pomeranz’s perfect 0.00 ERA is no more. Righty Chris Flexen allowed his second home run of the season. And righty Brad Keller, who has been so good and entered with a 1.82 ERA, watched that number inflate by more than a full point, allowing five runs in a game-deciding eighth inning.
