Cubs Made Crucial Mistake In Shutout Loss To Pirates

After riding high and believing the playoffs were well in sight, the Chicago Cubs have dropped the first two games of their three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are now in danger of being swept for the third time this season, the first time at home. It could have been prevented if they had just capitalized on early opportunities.

We were all gearing up for a pitching duel between rookie phenom Paul Skenes and Cubs’ ace Justin Steele. However, Steele was scratched from his start on Tuesday due to elbow discomfort.
