The first place Cubs dropped a tough one to the Reds in extras on Wednesday night, but Pittsburgh also lost, dropping the CMN.
Some good news despite the loss: Yu Darvish struck out 11 batters in 5 1/3 innings while not giving up a walk. Darvish left the game with a 3-2 lead, but unfortunately, the Chicago bullpen gave up 4 earned runs.
Almora and Russell each went 2-for-4 with a HR, and Schwarber also homered for the Cubs.
The series wraps up in Cincinnati on Thursday before the North Siders head to DC for a three-game weekend set versus the Nationals. 40 games down, 122 to go.
Go Cubs go!
