Cubs wait out rain delay, then delayed offensive outburst isn't enough to prevent another loss to Cleveland. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Two games featured more than eight hours of rain delays. Saturday's contest ended just short of midnight, while Sunday's game, originally scheduled for 1:20 p.m. went off at 6 p.m
"We kicked ourselves in the foot a lot early on," manager David Ross said."Couldn't close it out, but really good character there from the offense at the end. That's one of the better closers in the game." Trailing 6-2, Trey Mancini dropped an RBI single into right field, then Mike Tauchman and Nico Hoerner reached on infield hits, loading the bases with one out. Morel followed with a 2-run single up the middle, then Cody Bellinger's sacrifice fly brought home Hoerner with the tying run.
Morel's home run in the eighth was his 15th of the season, moving him past Patrick Wisdom for the team lead.
Taillon's ERA in both the first and second innings this season was 7.62, so things looked promising when he put up two zeros to start the game. In the third inning, though, leadoff hitter Andres Gimenez drilled a no-doubt 2-run homer to right.
