Chicago Cubs (42-31) @ Cincinnati Reds (30-45)

Luke Farrell (6-1, 1.76) vs. Anthony DeScalfani (2-1, 4.60)

Farrell making a spot start that's arguably an audition to potentially replace Chatwood in the rotation. Cubs hoping to avoid dropping their third straight to the lowly Reds. Chicago can split series if they win both games this weekend.

B1 — Reds catcher Tucker Barnhart crushes his 5th homer. Really bad pitch over the plate by Farrell. 2-run bomb gives Cubs an early 2-0 deficit. Critical home runs have helped Reds win 1st 2 games of this series. Today's game might follow suit.

B1 || Cubs 0, Reds 2

B3 — Bad defense on display as Reds go up 3-1. Heyward misjudges hit to right. Then, makes high relay throw, & Russell makes terrible throw home to try & out Votto. Suarez then picks up RBI on single to center to make score 4-1. Both hits given up by Duensing. Farrell lasted just 2.2 innings in unsuccessful spot start.

B3 || Cubs 1, Reds 4

B3 — DeSclafani (the Reds' starting pitcher today) hits his 1sts career homer, & it's a grand slam jack to left. Duensing really struggling in relief.

B3 || Cubs 1, Reds 8

This has been a really bad series for Joe Maddon & Jim Hickey. Terrible choices in the pitching department have cost the Cubs in this series. Assuming a loss today, that'll be 3 losses in a row to a bad Reds team because of bad decisions regarding leaving in/putting in certain pitchers.

And that doesn't include the risky decision to let Farrell make a spot start. Putting Duensing in after a stint on the bereavement list with the Cubs trailing in the 3rd was a really dumb move. Nothing to gain from it. That's not the time to let a pitcher get his feet back under him. Save that for a 2-1 lead with nobody on in the 6th, not a 2-1 deficit with a man on in the 3rd.

M4 — Frustration boils over for Cubs in 4th. Bench coach Brandon Hyde gets thrown out for chirping from dugout. Then, he goes on a tirade picked up by on-field microphones.

By the way, DeSclafani's grand slam was the 1st by a Reds pitcher since way back in 1959.

T6 — Zobrist smacks 5th homer of season. 1st homer since May for him. Solo shot to right.

How did the Cubs go from winning 2 thrilling games against the reigning NL champs to having to resort to letting a catcher pitch in relief against the bottom-feeder Reds in a span of just a few days?
