CI Recap (6/19/18) – Cubs 3, Dodgers 4: Cubs Blow Ninth Inning Lead in Game One

The Cubs and Dodgers met Tuesday afternoon in a makeup game for Monday night’s rainout. Joc Pederson led off the game with a home run for the Dodgers off Cubs’ starter Tyler Chatwood. Chatwood had another wild outing, walking five while striking out six over five innings of work. He only allowed two hits and one earned run, but the lack of command continues to be concerning and also forced Joe Maddon into his bullpen in the sixth. That would prove costly, as Brandon Morrow (we learned during the game) is unavailable for both games today with back tightness that flared up on Monday.
