The game: The Cubs jumped out to an early lead against Trevor Bauer in the top of the first on an RBI double by Anthony Rizzo that scored Kris Bryant. But Cubs starter Jake Arrieta struggled with his fastball command in the bottom half of the same inning, walking Francisco Lindor and Mike Napoli in succession before getting Jose Ramirez to fly out to escape the jam.
