Seth Lugo didn’t appreciate some calls against him in a loss Saturday.

The Cubs put two on with nobody out in the seventh for Dansby Swanson, who walked on six pitches. Balls three and four looked like strikes, and Lugo was clearly frustrated with both calls.

“The idea is not giving any free passes and fill up the zone,” Lugo said. “I did my best doing that. Didn’t get some calls. It’s just one of [those] things. Bad-luck night.”

Lugo said the walk changed “the whole game.”

“With two guys on and nobody out, you can’t issue a free pass there,” Lugo said.
