On Sunday, August 12, the Chicago Cubs hosted the Washington Nationals at Wrigley Field and it was another tough outing for the North Siders as they struggled the entire game. Most of the camera attention was on Cubs newcomer, Cole Hamels, who was pitching his first game in Wrigley Field for the club.
Hamels’ camera time was well deserved as he struck out nine over seven innings. The veteran southpaw allowed only one hit and one run in his Wrigley debut but the Cubs were still down headed into the final frame.
In the ninth inning, it looked as the Cubs fate was sealed, trailing 3-0.
