Heavy rain overnight faded into drizzly, cloudy skies in Chicago Wednesday afternoon, a hint of autumn to come, and after an exciting walkoff win in the suspended game from Tuesday night, the Cubs turned in a clunker of a 10-3 loss to the Mets in the regularly-scheduled game Wednesday, ending their seven-game winning streak. For the Mets, the 10 runs were just one fewer than they had scored in their previous six games combined.
This game was not without lessons, though! First, we found out that Alec Mills actually might be a decent fringe big-league starter.
