Cubs Can't Phigure out the Phillies

The Chicago Cubs have the wheels rolling on the losing streak train and pulled into station #2. Hamel's great control and change up kept the Cubs guessing and set the tone for this game. For the second night in a row and unfortunately not only the second time this season that the Cubs starter couldn't get the job done early. Lily gave up 5 in less than 5 innings.

The Cubs offense never got going. Soriano went 1-4 and is only batting .176 for the season. In all the Cubs managed only 3 hits to Philadelphia's 11.

It's early though so Cub fans don't fret just yet. The Cubs will try to avoid a sweep tomorrow. Game time is 12:35 central time and televised on Chicago Sports Net.
