Here are three takeaways from the Chicago Cubs’ 7-6 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.
Twice the veteran left-hander squandered it in the bottom half of the inning.Monday’s rocky start against the Cincinnati Reds certainly wasn’t the season debut Smyly envisioned, especially when a pair of three-run innings by the offense in the first and fifth were wasted.“It was a frustrating outing,” Smyly said. “It’s not the one you want to start the year. ... I mean, our offense scored a lot of runs, plenty to win a game. I let us down tonight.
Wisdom isn’t an obvious choice to attempt a sacrifice bunt. The slugger had successfully put down two in his big-league career entering Monday and only three between 2015 and 2020 as he progressed to the upper levels of the minors. The Cubs had Nick Madrigal available on the bench, and his contact profile might have been valuable in that moment, but manager David Ross opted to keep Wisdom in the spot with the sacrifice bunt call.Christopher Morel was sent to Iowa to get more playing time. But a laid-back Chicago Cubs clubhouse misses his exuberance.Wisdom was dealing with a sore left wrist after getting drilled in the fifth. Although his wrist felt tender on swings, Wisdom said postgame X-rays came back clean.
Ross called on both reserve catchers, first replacing designated hitter Edwin Ríos with Luis Torrens, who walked on four pitches. Yan Gomes subbed in for Tucker Barnhart and went down swinging on three pitches to end the seventh.
