The Cubs lost to the Reds 6-2 on a cloudy, sprinkly Friday afternoon at Wrigley Field, ending their four-game winning streak.
Nevertheless, I have some positive things to give you in this otherwise pretty brief game recap.
- The Cubs, utterly baffled by Andrew Abbott for seven innings on just one hit, tried to mount a comeback against the Reds bullpen and, while they scored only two runs, they had five hits, four for extra bases, and had the tying run on deck in the eighth and ninth innings.
- Génesis Cabrera had a nice Cubs debut, striking out three of the five hitters he faced.
