On Wednesday, the Chicago Cubs offense went cold (again) in a 1-0 loss. The series finale loss allowed the Milwaukee Brewers to extend their slim lead in the division – but it’s more how the Cubs lost that makes things so frustrating.
Trailing by just one run in the top of the ninth inning, still with a chance to tie the game or even take the lead, the Cubs went down without a fight. Javier Baez led off the inning with a line out to center field while Chris Gimenez and Willson Contreras both struck out swinging.
