This is going to be a recap’s worth of moral victories, because an actual victory against the New York Yankees continues to elude the Chicago Cubs.
After losing 2-1 to the Bronx Bombers in 13 innings — the longest Cubs game by innings since the Manfred man became a thing in 2020 — the Cubs are now 4-21 all-time against them, 0-8 in World Series play and 4-13 in regular season games. Friday’s game was the Cubs’ fourth straight loss and fifth defeat in their last six games.
Sigh.
Wade Miley and Luis Severino matched zeroes in this game through three innings.
