We faced the Cubs at Wrigley Field for the first series of the week. The first game was a one-run win for us. Yamamoto has been outstanding as a starter and this time he went 5 innings allowing one run. Keller had a great long relief appearance as he went 3 innings limiting the Cubs to one run. In spite of giving up one run in the ninth, Nick Anderson closed the game and earned his 8th save of the season. Jorge Soler had his 10th homer of the year, he is leading the team in that category. James McCann was back to the starting lineup and he had a homer in the 2nd inning of Kyle Hendricks. Garret Cooper had his first pinch-hit homer of the year as he went deep in the top of the ninth.

The second game featured our second shutout loss of the season. Jon Lester was amazing for the Cubs limiting our team to 4 hits in 8 innings. Martin Perez had a good game for us as he only gave up one earned run. A throwing error by Tim Anderson in the seventh inning cost the team two more runs. Jairo Labourt had his first appearance for us in the season as he finished the seventh inning by striking out two Cubbies.

Back to back shutout losses placed us with a record of .500 again. Caleb Smith and Gerson Bautista were our pitchers for the game and only gave up one run, a Javi Baez homer in the 6th. The offense went quiet the last two games in Chicago.

We´ve traveled back home to play a 4 game series against the division leaders, the Atlanta Braves. We´ve suffered the third loss in a row, and again the offense couldn't achieve a good performance. Zac Gallen, went 5 innings and gave up 3 runs. They came thanks to a 3-run home-run by Ronald Acuña Jr at the top of the 5th. The relievers Bautista, Houston, and Urias had a good performance as they threw 4 innings of no-hit baseball. The only run of the game of our team came thanks to a sac-fly by Yolmer Sanchez.

After three difficult offensive games, the team scored 7 runs and won again. Scooter Gennett had a two-run homer in the seventh inning, getting his season total to 3. Rio Ruiz had a good game as he went 2 for 3 with a double a base on balls and a couple of RBI´s. Will Smith is still struggling at the plate and he had 3 strikeouts, his season average is at .146. Dallas Keuchel had to be replaced after just 2 pitches. He was diagnosed with forearm stiffness and he will be going to the 10 day IL. Max Povse did a great job as he went 5 innings allowing one run and striking out five. In his second appearance of the season, Labourt allowed one run in 1.1 innings pitched.

Terrible news as Brendan McKay, one of our top pitcher prospects in AAA, suffered a torn UCL and will undergo TJ surgery. Jonathan Loaisga will be called up to make the start that Keuchel will miss.

It was a tough loss as the bullpen gave up three runs and we lost by 5 to 2. Yamamoto had another good outing as he went 5 innings and allowed just one run. Keller gave up another one in the eight and Nick Anderson surrendered two more in the ninth. The bullpen roles were moved again as Tommy Eveld will be the new closer. Mike Ford and Tim Anderson had homers.

It was a difficult Sunday and a difficult week. We´ve suffered a blowout loss as the Braves have beaten us 9 to 1. Martin Perez struggled and in 3.2 IP gave up 5 earned runs. Gerson Bautista and Jairo Labourt also struggled. Labourt was injured and diagnosed with a strained biceps, he will be out for 3 weeks. Rio Ruiz had a homer in the first, his fourth of the year.
