Game 85, July 9: Dodgers 4, Cubs 2 (34-51)
Saturday night in Los Angeles was another one of those frustrating ones for the Cubs. They have lost all six games to the Dodgers. The Dodgers systematically dismantled the Cubs in dominating a three-game set in Wrigley Field earlier this year. And now in this one, the Cubs have led in all three games only to have their bullpen falter late. You can take your pick of which of the three games in this series was most frustrating.
As baseball fans, we seem to have a pretty innate awareness that hitters pile on their numbers against lesser pitchers.
