Of all the baseball games the Chicago Cubs have played in the 2021 season, Tuesday night’s was most certainly one of them.
That’s about the most positive thing I can say about a very long, mostly awful 9-5 loss to the Twins on a fall-like evening at Wrigley Field.
Alec Mills started this game off poorly, with hits allowed to the first two Twins batters. A stolen base and a bad throw by Willson Contreras scored the first Twins run and a sacrifice fly made it 2-0 within the game’s first four batters.
