If I had told you, before this game started, that the Cubs would smash five home runs, you’d probably think they’d win the game, right?
Unfortunately, it didn’t work out that way. This game turned out distressingly like Monday’s, in which the Cubs got an early lead, blew it, came back, but lost anyway, this time 9-6 to the Astros, their third loss in a row. It’s the first time since that six-game losing streak in March/April that the Cubs have lost three straight.
Further, it’s just the 13th time in franchise history that a Cubs team has hit at least five home runs and lost.
