It’s been more than two years since Adam Conley (or any other starter) gave the bullpen a full night off.
There’s no shame in losing to the Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field. This season, they have won more than two-thirds of their games at The Friendly Confines while outscoring opponents by 100 runs.
But the Miami Marlins went down convincingly on Monday night, going hitless with runners in scoring position and giving away extra outs on the base paths. The lack of offensive execution allowed Cubs right-hander Kyle Hendricks to complete the game himself (albeit it took 123 pitches).
