After Friday’s 9-3 defeat in the series opener against the Washington Nationals, the Chicago Cubs were looking for a victory in an attempt to regain ground lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in the Central Division standings. Unfortunately, José Quintana, who had been one of the Cubs’ most consistent pitchers of late, allowed five earned runs in 4.0 IP (Box Score).
The Cubs only runs came on a Nicholas Castellanos RBI single in the 3rd inning and a Jonathan Lucroy ground rule double in the 5th inning.
