- The Cubs couldn’t get their bats to cooperate yesterday in Yankee Stadium. Ryan Kalish disposes of his after fanning in the fifth inning of game two.
The Cubs played a doubleheader in Yankee Stadium yesterday, all for naught. Eighteen naughts. Managers often ask their lineups to put up a crooked number in an inning, meaning more than a single run; the north-siders instead produced a long string of round ones.
Meantime on the south side, White Sox pitchers, like the Cubs’ offense, couldn’t find the plate. In a game that went 14 innings, they surrendered only six hits to the Red Sox—but they walked 15.
