Drew Smyly put the Cubs in a Pete Alonso-sized hole before the game was an hour old and an 11-2 loss was in the books once the rain-soaked evening ended. The North Siders vowed not to pump the brakes after winning consecutive series against the Reds and Braves, but that didn’t appear to be the case Monday night.
