Bleed Cubbie Blue · Aug 9, 2021
White Sox 9, Cubs 3: 2021 A.D.* (*after Davies)
Quinn Harris-USA TODAY Sports Just as I wrote last week that I had seen enough of Jake Arrieta starting games for the Cubs, I’m about done with Zach Davies in the team’s starting rotation, too.
Davies had the second-worst outing of his career Sunday night against the White Sox, and unfortunately for him the worst was earlier this year against the Pirates. So that gives the Cubs the two worst Davies starts ever and the worst year of his career.
Tim Anderson hit Davies’ first pitch of the game into the bleachers in right. A single and a strikeout later, Eloy Jimenez homered. A walk followed and then a third home run of the inning, by Andrew Vaughn.
