Give the Cubs credit, they came back from a 5-0 first-inning deficit and made things close, but fell short and lost for the second straight day by one run.
The way I want to sum up the Cubs’ 7-6 loss to the Marlins is with three facts:
- The Cubs twice had the bases loaded with nobody out in this game and scored a total of one run out of all that, and that was in part because
- Eric Hosmer decided to tag up and run to third on a short fly to left because.
