The Chicago Cubs eight-game win streak was snapped Monday evening at a chilly Wrigley Field after the Northsiders were unable to close out a one-run lead in the ninth inning.
Plain and simple, it was not Pedro Strop’s night, and while he’s never been considered a top-tier closer, he’s undoubtedly the Cubs most reliable reliever in the bullpen.
Wins are wins and losses are losses, but there was some light in what was a bad loss for the Cubs, who have been scorching hot compared to the 10-24 Miami Marlins.
