CHGO Cubs Podcast: Ian Happ's 2 homers not enough as Chicago Cubs fall to Nationals

August 16, 2022

The Cubs opened up their three-game series in Washington D.C. with a 5-4 loss Monday night. The Cubs scored early to jump out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning and eventually lead 3-0 headed into the fourth where the Cubs defensive miscues loomed large. Marcus Stroman worked well into the fourth inning, but an error by Zach McKinstry opened the floodgates for the Nationals offense in route to a 4-run inning. The Nats never trailed again as the Cubs dropped their second straight ballgame. Join Corey, Cody, and Ryan on the CHGO Cubs Postgame for the recap and breakdown of tonight’s game.
