It had been a while since the Cubs had swept a series, and after taking Game 1 of the doubleheader Wednesday against the Rockies, they had a chance to do just that.
The offense has carried the Cubs during their first two games against Colorado. After Rafael Ortega’s walk-off homer on Monday and Patrick Wisdom’s heroics in Game 1, it looked like the offense was going to carry them again in the nightcap.
The lineup wasn’t able to come through a final time in the Cubs’ 13-10 loss to the Rockies on Wednesday and dropping Game 2 of the doubleheader.
