Tuesday was a typical uninspired loss for the Cubs against the Giants at Oracle Park. Kyle Hendricks gave a vintage performance, throwing seven strong frames, but Chicago’s offensive woes and the usual bullpen adventure conspired to saddle him ith an undeserved loss.
Hendricks’ only issue came in the bottom of the 2nd with a single and a walk to put two on with nobody out for Michael Conforto. The Giants outfielder singled to right to score the first run of the game and a David Villar sacrifice fly later in the inning made it a 2-0 lead.
