MILWAUKEE — New month, new Cubs?
They’d probably like to think so after beating the Brewers 2-0 in Sunday’s finale of a three-game series. The Cubs were outscored 20-2 over the first two games and ended April in a 2-9 slide.
April was rough, even with a lockout-delayed Opening Day and a 6-4 start by the Cubs that looked at least as good as that record. But the quality of at-bats dropped, strikeouts mounted and the team’s fielding went from flawless to fumbling from there as 6-4 turned into 8-13.
“We’ve got to clean up some things,” manager David Ross said.
