Nick Madrigal admitted he knew better Sunday than to rush a throw in the midst of a four-run rally.
As Madrigal continues to get more acclimated to playing third base more frequently, the Cubs must continue to shore up little holes that became more glaring in an 8-2 loss to the Rangers.
The areas of improvement fall under more scrutiny with a six-game stretch starting Monday night against the American League title contending Mariners, followed by a three-game set against the National League perennial power Dodgers at Los Angeles.
