Cubs, Smyly end losing streak in Washington, but Gomes injury gives cause for concern. McGrawDHSports Cubs
Getting swept in three straight 1-run games by the Marlins wasn't pleasant, but it's no reason to panic.
The timing of Gomes' injury was not ideal, since the Cubs just designated Luis Torrens for assignment on Saturday when they brought up pitcher Caleb Kilian for a spot start. Barnhart did collect a double, his first extra-base hit of the season, on Monday after taking over for Gomes. Smyly credited Barnhart for calling a smart game behind the plate.
Suzuki got on track right away Monday with an RBI single to score the Cubs' first run. With two outs in the first, Cody Bellinger singled and stole second, scored on Suzuki's hit, then Trey Mancini followed with a double to make it 2-0.
