Chicago CubsvsColorado Rockies
CHC 2/COL 3
Things to say
Rockies edged the Cubs 3-2 at Coors Field.
01
opener
Rockies snuck one past the Cubs last night, 3-2. Low-scoring game at Coors of all places. Cubs bats just never woke up.
02
key player
Colorado's starter got into his stuff early and kept the heart of the Cubs order quiet all night.
03
hot take
Cubs are a .500 team pretending they're a contender. You don't lose to the Rockies if you're serious about October.
04
deep cut
Coors Field with a 3-2 final? That's a pitcher's line you frame on the wall.
05
exit
Anyway, we'll see if the Cubs can bounce back on getaway day before the next series.
The recap
Rockies edged the Cubs 3-2 at Coors, which is wild because Colorado's been a tire fire all year and Chicago just sleepwalked into Denver flat. Low-scoring game at Coors usually means the starters got into their stuff and kept the heart of the order quiet, and that's exactly what happened here.
Cubs bats went cold at the wrong time, one big swing for the Rockies was the difference, and the bullpen actually held it down for once. Tough getaway-day loss for Chicago, but Colorado will take it any way they can get it sitting at 26-42.
