ARLINGTON -- Before Sunday's game, Chicago Cubs manager Joe Maddon expressed complete faith in his bullpen, and despite his relievers giving up six runs in the final 3.1 innings against the Texas Rangers, Maddon doubled down on that belief afterward.
"It was just one guy [Mike Montgomery] that had a tough time," Maddon said after the Cubs' 11-10 loss.
Maddon said that despite closer Pedro Strop giving up a ninth-inning double to Joey Gallo, who eventually scored on a wild pitch to end the game. For the weekend, the Cubs tallied 28 runs but still lost two of three to the Rangers, who are not expected to contend this season.
