Even in the loss, there were some positive signs for the Chicago Cubs. Kyle Schwarber went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs. Anthony Rizzo seemed to be swinging the bat better. And Ian Happ appears to be breaking out of his slump. But John Lackey just didn’t have it, and a lapse on the part of Brian Duensing and Miguel Montero, in the end, cost the Cubs a chance at the victory.
This may seem like you’ve heard it before–and you have.
