CHICAGO -- The Cubs ran out of comebacks on Friday.
Reds starter Tyler Mahle combined with three other pitchers to hand the Cubs a 3-2 loss at Wrigley Field, snapping their win streak at six games.
"We had a good run, six-game win streak," Chicago starter Mike Montgomery said. "We lose one and we just move on."
