EDITOR’S NOTE: This article originally ran April 13, 2020 as part of “The worst losses in Cubs history” series, the story of the 10 games in franchise history the Cubs have lost by 17 or more runs. There haven’t been any more since then (the most recent such loss was in 2010), thank heavens.
While we wait for the MLB London Series to begin tomorrow, I thought it would be interesting to revisit this game, which happened 37 years ago today, Monday, June 23, 1986.
