The Cubs got some good pitching Tuesday night — but not quite good enough.
The Cubs got some good hitting Tuesday night — but came up just a little short.
All of that, unfortunately, added up to a 4-3 loss to the Reds, ending the team’s seven-game winning streak. Unlike a lot of the losses during the 12-game losing streak in August (and the 11-game streak in June and July), this one didn’t feel terrible. The other team got a couple of breaks and the Cubs just couldn’t push a tying run across in the late innings.
