The Cubs won three and lost three on their road trip to New York and Toronto, which isn’t bad, but they are going to have to start doing better on the road in order to keep up with multiple teams they are competing with in both the N.L. Central and wild-card races.
The most frustrating game was Wednesday’s in New York, when they entered the ninth inning trailing by two, got one back on Seiya Suzuki’s home run, then got a pair of runners in scoring position with one out and couldn’t score. We’ve gone over David Ross’ decisions in that inning before; here’s hoping better choices are made going forward.
