This recap of the Cubs’ 8-0 loss to the Yankees Saturday night is going to be short.
First, because there really aren’t any Cubs offensive highlights to speak of. They had five hits, all singles, and also a walk, a hit batsman and a runner reaching on an error. Obviously, all eight were left on base and the Cubs were 0-for-7 with RISP, making them 0-for-25 with RISP in this series.
Second, because Yankees hitters hit home runs seemingly at will. It’s as if the Yankees were a team from another plane of existence, or the Cubs were one of the Yankees’ lower-level minor league affiliates brought to Yankee Stadium to play a game as a special treat.
