Cubs feeling stranded during rough road trip

SAN DIEGO -- Fortunately, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon already has white hair, because watching his team hit with men on base would age anyone.

Monday was a low point, as the Cubs earned 10 walks against the last-place San Diego Padres, put two more men on base via hit-by-pitches and managed only two first-inning runs in a 5-2 loss. They were 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position, which means they're 1-for-24 on their so far winless road trip.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Cubs are the 177th team in the past eight seasons to walk at least 10 times in a game.
