This Cubs season has been full of forgettable games. A 7-0 loss to the Angels on Saturday fits right in.
In front of an announced crowd of 36,420 at Wrigley Field, the Cubs played ragged defense and committed two errors. Those errors were even more costly because of what the lineup didn’t do.
Angels starter Tyler Anderson struck out 10 and walked none in eight innings, needing just 98 pitches. Anderson benefitted from numerous quick at-bats and at one point retired 13 consecutive hitters.
“We couldn’t lay off the changeup,” Cubs manager Craig Counsell said.
