DETROIT – Pitching, especially the bullpen, has been a strength of the Cubs the last several weeks, but the arms had a long day in Detroit.
Despite staying in a back and forth game against the Tigers that saw 17 runs scored, the Cubs weren’t able to come out on top as Detroit pushed across two in the 10th inning to give them the 9-8 victory.
“Just one of those grinder games that came up short in there,” manager David Ross said.
Things started on the right foot for the Cubs as the offense took a quick 2-0 first-inning lead, but things quickly started to spiral.
