The Cubs blew yet another game on Tuesday night, this one against the Rays at Tropicana Field. They gave up a one-run lead in the 9th inning and then allowed a three-run walk-off homer to Tampa’s Brandon Lowe.
Both starting pitchers, Jameson Taillon and Zach Eflin, were throwing well early and the game remained scoreless through three frames. Christopher Morel put Chicago ahead when he blasted a long solo homer to left field in the 4th inning.
Taillon would eventually go six shutout innings to keep his team ahead.
