Tough Day at Wrigley
Hey Cubbies fans! Sadly, it just wasn’t our night tonight. The Cubs fell to the Yankees with a final score of 3-0. Our boys had a hard time getting the bats going against the Bronx Bombers' pitching staff. Let’s break down this battle.Starting Strong but Falling Short
First, we gotta give props to the pitching. Despite the tough loss, the Cubs' defense was solid. In the top of the 1st inning, we managed to escape unscathed even though the Yankees loaded the bases. Justin Steele did a fantastic job keeping the Yankees off the scoreboard initially.Yankees Strike First and Last
The trouble began in the top of the 3rd inning when the Yankees scored all three of their runs. Gleyber Torres started it with a walk, followed by a single from Juan Soto. A double from Aaron Judge brought in Torres, and just like that, the Yankees were on the board. Austin Wells then knocked in both Judge and Soto with a single to left. That was all the scoring the Yankees needed.Silent Bats for the Cubs 
Unfortunately, our Cubbies couldn’t get anything going offensively. Cody Bellinger and Dansby Swanson managed to get moderate hits, with Bellinger even securing a double in the 4th inning, but we couldn’t capitalize on those opportunities. It was a night of flyouts, groundouts, and strikeouts for our lineup.A Couple of Bright Spots
It wasn’t all doom and gloom. The Cubs' pitching staff, including relievers Keegan Thompson, Manny Rodriguez, and Nick Burdi, held the Yankees scoreless after the 3rd inning. Also, a shout-out to Nico Hoerner for a heads-up play stealing second and advancing to third on an error in the 7th inning. Final Thoughts
Tonight’s game was a tough pill to swallow, but let’s keep our heads up, Cubs Nation! We’ve seen our boys bounce back stronger. Let’s hope for a better show in the next game. Until then, let’s keep cheering on our Cubbies! Fly the W next time!
