It was more of the same for the Cubs at a soggy SunTrust Park in Atlanta Thursday night. Another bullpen implosion combined with a dominant Braves pitching effort turned the game into a rout in the middle innings.
I could go into further detail, but that would just be painful to everyone involved. Suffice to say it wasn’t a lot of fun at the ballpark for a fifth straight game. (Box score)
Why the Cubs Lost
The Cubs offense never really threatened to score until a four-run rally in the 9th inning when the game was over.
