Boyd, who has been a consistent performer for the Cubs this season, had a slightly below average outing, allowing three runs in five innings. The offense, on the other hand, was completely shut down by the Cardinals’ pitching, leaving nine men on base and going 0-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
The Cubs’ struggles with runners in scoring position have been a recurring issue, and it was no different in this game. In fact, their 0-for-9 performance tied their second-worst showing of the season in that category.
Despite their recent offensive struggles, the Cubs remain confident that they will turn things around and get back to their winning ways. They have shown in the past that they are capable of bouncing back from tough losses, and they will look to do so in their next game against the Cardinals.
With the Milwaukee Brewers increasing their division lead to five games, the Cubs know they need to start winning games if they want to stay in the playoff race. They will need to find a way to get their offense going and support their strong pitching staff.
Next up for the Cubs is a matchup against the Cardinals on Saturday evening. Colin Rea will take the mound for the Cubs, while Andre Pallante will start for the Cardinals. The Cubs will be looking to snap their offensive slump and get back in the win column.
