TOKYO – The Cubs are still looking for their first win of the season after dropping the Tokyo Series finale to the Dodgers 6-3 on Wednesday.
Cubs starter Justin Steele gave up five runs and five hits, including homers by Tommy Edman and Kiké Hernández. The Cubs offense slowly chipped away, but not enough.
The Cubs squandered their best chance to do damage against Dodgers starter Roki Sasaki, who was making his major-league debut. In the third inning, Jon Berti hit an one-out infield single and then Ian Happ, Seiya Suzuki and Kyle Tucker drew consecutive walks to load the bases and push in the team’s first run of the night.
