The Cubs fell behind early tonight, a recurring theme that continues to plague this team, and once again they were unable to dig themselves out of that hole.
Today, it was Brett Anderson giving up five runs while recording only one out in the first inning before he got pulled with lower back tightness and replaced by Felix Pena. You may recall that Anderson couldn’t get out of the second inning in his previous start, giving up seven runs to the Phillies. That was the only game the Phillies won in that series.
As for Anderson, it looks like he may be making a trip to the DL.
