Edward Cabrera's Hand Cramp and the 5-2 Collapse That Left Chicago Stunned
Alright, you guys gotta hear about this one. You think you’ve seen a tough loss? What went down at Wrigley on Tuesday night for the Chicago Cubs was just brutal. They were up early, feeling good, and then bam! The Colorado Rockies stormed back, snatched a 5-2 victory, and, to pour salt in the wound, Cubs pitcher Edward Cabrera had to leave the game with a cramp in his right hand. Talk about a gut punch for their season form, especially when you're already losing for the second time in three games. It's a tough look, folks.Rockies Turn the Tables with a Fourth-Inning Explosion
The Cubs actually started hot, getting on the board in the first when Pete Crow-Armstrong smacked a solo home run off Rockies starter Ryan Feltner. Then in the second, Matt Shaw singled, Miguel Amaya doubled, and a wild pitch from Feltner let Shaw scamper home, doubling their lead. But after that, Feltner settled down, striking out seven and working into the fifth inning before hitting his pitch count at 104. Honestly, he kept them in it. Then the Rockies offense woke up big time in the fourth. Willi Castro ripped a double that brought Jake McCarthy home, and then Castro himself scored on TJ Rumfield’s tenth home run of the season. Just like that, it was a three-run inning, and the Rockies had stolen the lead.Cubs Pit

cher Goes Down, Bullpen Stumbles The real pain for the Cubs started brewing in the fifth. Edward Cabrera, who had actually retired the first nine batters he faced, started walking guys. After he walked the first two in the fifth, he had to leave the game with that right hand cramp, and you could feel the air go out of the stadium. Reliever Ryan Rolison came in, and those inherited runners scored on a wild pitch and a Castro groundout. Cabrera officially took the loss, his fourth in his last five decisions. Not a great trend for the guy. The Cubs tried to make it interesting in the seventh when Seiya Suzuki doubled off Brennan Bernardino to put runners at second and third with two outs. But Ian Happ grounded out, ending the threat and sealing Chicago's fate. The four Rockies relievers who came in after Feltner were absolutely lights out, giving up only a hit and a walk over the final 4 1/3 innings. Blas Castano even notched his first major league win, and Jaden Hill got his first big league save. For the Cubs, this loss, coupled with Cabrera's injury and his shaky record lately, just screams trouble. It's another tough one to swallow for a team trying to find its rhythm. But hey, while all that was going down, our Mariners were out there handling business, snagging a 3-1 win against the Orioles. Always good to see our boys in green and blue bringing home a W!
