Despite moving to a season-high 10 games over .500 in extending their winning streak to five games, the Cubs once-again received an unpleasant surprise in the ninth inning when Hector Rondon allowed a pair of runs.
Manager Joe Maddon has relied on a mix of Rondon, Pedro Strop and Jason Motte this year in the ninth innings after the former lost the closer job early on in the season. However, the former Baltimore Orioles reliever Hunter may be a more formidable answer moving forward.
