The Cubs dropped Monday's series opener to the Brewers 5-1, their fifth straight loss, despite a dominant start from Justin Steele (7 IP, 3 H, 0 ER, 8 K). The Men in Blue managed just five hits, all singles, while the bullpen imploded yet again.
The North Siders now have an MLB-worst 6.17 ERA in the eighth inning this season.
Meanwhile, Nick Madrigal's OPS is down to .542 while Luis Vasquez languishes on the bench and PCA, Matt Mervis, Alexander Canario, Brennan Davis, Jake Slaughter, and even David $5.5M Bote are all raking at Iowa.
The series continues tomorrow at Milwaukee.
54 games down, 108 to go. Go Cubs go!
