After taking the home opener on Monday afternoon in commanding fashion, the Chicago Cubs had a very different look and feel on Wednesday night. An offense that pounded out 10 runs on Monday managed just two tallies and the weather, which had been sunny and near 70 just 48 hours earlier, was as chilly as the bats.
Chicago (3-8) got its main offensive contribution in the form of a Jason Heyward solo blast. That home run, his fourth on the year, gets him – at least in terms of homers – to a point he did not reach in 2018 until mid-June.
