The thing that should give you the biggest indication that not much positive happened in the Cubs’ 13-1 loss to the Rangers Thursday afternoon is the fact that the photo of Ian Happ above is from team photo day. There wasn’t anything available from this game and the Cubs really didn’t do much.
The Cubs loaded the bases on two singles and a walk in the first inning, but Rangers starter Tyler Phillips got Nico Hoerner to fly out to end the inning.
Then Colin Rea did the same thing in the bottom of the inning, except it was two walks and a single loading the bases for the Rangers.
