Things didn’t get better for the Cubs in the run prevention department on Monday night.

After allowing a combined 19 runs against the Rangers on Saturday and Sunday, the Braves scored early and often Monday, drubbing the Cubs 8-0.

Allowing eight runs is a problem, but the fact that just two were earned is more problematic. The Cubs committed six errors, their most since Sept. 12, 2006, against the Dodgers.
