After 7.1 masterful innings pitched from Justin Steele, the Cubs find a way to lose 5-4 to the Giants on Monday Night at Oracle Park in San Francisco. Steele, who struck out 9, can not buy a win, despite pitching as good as anybody in baseball over the last month. A three-run 9th inning rally from the Giants against Colton Brewer and Drew Smyly ends with a walk-off walk, the Cubs' sixth such loss this season. Anthony Pasquale talked about how the Cubs continue to find painful ways to lose each ballgame.
Offensively, the Cubs faced the same struggles with runners on base. Dansby Swanson was on base four times, Nico Hoerner and Cody Bellinger had 2 hits but the Cubs went on to leave 12 men on base and hit 4-15 with runners in scoring position. Michael Busch and Tomas Nido combined for 6 strikeouts and were up often with runners on base.
Willie Mays, who passed away last week, was honored pregame and all Giants wore #24.
