The Cubs lost to the Rays 6-5 Tuesday night at Wrigley Field and while losses are never happy things, there were plenty of things that happened during this defeat that should give you cause for hope for this team’s future.
Let’s start at the beginning, though.
Justin Steele threw pretty well for the first two innings of this game, although he did allow a run in the second. Then he lost the strike zone almost completely in the third inning, issuing three walks and serving up a two-run homer to Wander Franco. All of the runs scored after this apparent inning-ending double play was overturned on review [VIDEO].
