The Cubs and Braves played a total of 23 innings in their games Sunday against the Brewers and Diamondbacks, respectively.
They combined for a total of five hits and no runs.
So it figures, right? The next day, the Cubs and Braves combine for 16 hits and 15 runs when playing each other. Unfortunately, the Braves put one more on the board than the Cubs did and won the game 8-7, a three-run homer by Freddie Freeman the ultimate difference.
This all started with more failure from Zach Davies.
