The Cubs bullpen is apparently being produced by DJ Khaled, because they blew another one last night. Another save, that is, making it 14 on the season for a unit that caught more than a little side-eye from observers heading into the season. Only the White Sox (19) have given away more late leads, though the Tigers and Pirates are tied with the Cubs. Doesn’t look like the Central divisions will be able to offer much back-end help to competitive teams at the deadline.
Héctor Neris was the perpetrator Tuesday night against the Rays by giving up four runs on a walk and three hits, the last of which was a three-run bomb from Brandon Lowe.
