It was near the end of another miserable losing Cubs season.
The Cubs began the last game of a three-game series in Philadelphia on this date in 1991 with a 73-83 record, 22 games behind the first-place Pirates in the NL East.
The Phillies were just ahead of the Cubs in the division, in fourth place with a 76-82 mark.
Greg Maddux was on the mound for the Cubs, making his final start of the year against Philadelphia’s Jose de Jesus.
The pitchers matched zeroes for the first six innings of the game, and de Jesus had no-hit the Cubs for those six innings.
