The first gut punch of the season. Well, we knew it was coming sooner or later – but it didn’t make watching Lorenzo Cain and Christian Yelich singlehandedly take down the Cubs on Wednesday any more palatable.
Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff took a no-hit bid that was insanely efficient into the seventh before Ian Happ got the Cubs their first single in THIRTY innings, dating back to the first inning on Sunday. While that let us all breathe a sigh of relief, it was fellow outfielder Joc Pederson who had us all running through walls a short while later.
