This road trip is not going the way we had expected it to go, no, not one bit.
The Cubs lost to the Reds 6-3 Friday night, their second straight defeat to a team they had utterly dominated from 2015-17 (40-17, and 20-8 at GABP). So far this year: 3-4, despite outscoring the Reds 33-20. (Three blowout wins will do that sort of thing.)
Luis Castillo held the Cubs hitless through three, the only baserunners being a walk to Ben Zobrist in the first and Chris Gimenez reaching on an error in the third.
