It’s kind of sad when the best thing that can be said about an afternoon at Wrigley Field is that It. Finally. Stopped. Raining.
The sun came out, at last, but that did not help Cubs hitters and they lost 1-0 to the Blue Jays, the 12th time they’ve been shut out this year and the second 1-0 loss in the last month (also July 23 to the Brewers).
A bit more on 1-0 losses from BCB’s JohnW53 before I get to the meat of this recap:
This was the Cubs’ 269th loss by 1-0 in regular-season games since 1876.
