I have a question.
Why did the Cubs add Anderson Espinoza to the roster Sunday and not even warm him up until they were trailing by two in the 11th inning? Rowan Wick, who attempted (and failed) to close the game in the ninth inning, had thrown 38 pitches on Saturday.
Sigh. The Cubs lost another extra-inning affair to the Cardinals Sunday night, 5-3 in 11 innings.
Let’s rewind to the beginning.
Once again, the Cubs scored in the first inning. Willson Contreras walked with one out. Happ doubled him to third and Contreras scored on this sacrifice fly by Frank Schwindel [VIDEO].
