Enhanced Box Score: Cubs 0, Brewers 2 – July 27, 2011

Carlos Zambrano had a rough inning, but he was otherwise decent this evening. Unfortunately, Zack Greinke was better (what happened to the guy with the ERA over 5?). Or maybe the Cubs’ bats just sucked. It happens.

At least Zambrano looked all right for all those scouts… right?
