Chicago Cubs: Team drops dud in Cincinnati, looking ahead to free agency

Well, let’s not dwell on that one. The Chicago Cubs managed just two runs and Kyle Hendricks ran into trouble in a big way in a 5-2 series-opening loss. The lone bright spot on the night? Jason Heyward.

The scorching hot Chicago right fielder tallied four of the team’s eight hits on the night, including three singles and a double. The Cubs went 1-for-7 with runners in scoring position and Twitter had plenty of takes regarding Hendricks’ sixth inning implosion. I’ll let you hash it out amongst yourselves as far as who you want to blame.
