7/8 Cubs (Wells) @ Dodgers (Kershaw) 9:10 WGN/XM185

[Fred Hornkohl]

Last time the CUBS drew 0 walks in a game.... Mon 28 Jun 10 in a 2-1 loss to Pittsburgh at Wrigley

 

 

GO CUBS !!

CUBS are 0-42 when they trail at the end of the 8th inning

 

 

That really is something.

 

Not really. Dodgers are 44-0 when they lead at the end of the 8th inning. Most every team has approximately the same record.

 

Approximately, sure. But perfect futility all season, never once causing some team's closer to blow a save and lose? Do closers never blow saves anymore? Don't know how to look it up but wouldn't be surprised if CUBS were the only team with that distinction in the NL.

You can blow a save and still win. And you can blow a save before the 9th inning.
