The offense did very little, while the defense and pitching performed well today.
The Cubs’ sole run was scored when Javy Baez hit an infield single in the top of the 2nd inning. Anthony Rizzo, who got pegged by a pitch leading off the inning, scored from third base after he stole second and then advanced on an Ian Happ fly ball. Rizzo was clearly agitated after the beanball but stopped short of going full Bryce Harper.
The team collected only three hits on the day, one of which was a Willson Contreras double. They also walked twice and struck out five times, while getting hit two pitches.
