Sloooooooow startTuesday, Apr 3 The 2-3 Cubs struck out 11 more times in yesterday's 1-0 loss to the Reds. That brings their season total to 58 through 5 games. Time to panic? "We're not going to ride the roller coaster as hard as everyone else outside," Anthony Rizzo said. "We'll just be fine." OK, if you say so. The not-great offensive outing overshadowed a not-bad Cubs debut for Tyler Chatwood: 1 run in 6 innings. But it wasn't the smoothest of rides … Steve Rosenbloom's early scouting report: Please return your tray table to its locked and upright position. Tonight: Ben Zobrist, who has only struck out once this season, leads things off in the series finale (5:40 p.m., WGN). |
