The Cubs season continues to tumble downhill with another game squandered by the bullpen Monday night in San Francisco. Missed opportunities to expand on a 4-0 lead set Chicago up for yet another 9th inning meltdown, with a walk-off walk dealing the final blow in a 5-4 defeat.
The Cubs scored all of their runs in the 3rd and the 4th innings as the Giants went with a bullpen game. Run-scoring singles by Cody Bellinger and Michael Busch were followed by a run-scoring double by Dansby Swanson to key the rallies. Unfortunately, golden chances over the next two frames were wasted and the offense shut down after that.
