Ryan Dempster took the loss in what may have been his final start with the Cubs (for reals this time, but emphasis on “might”). He was actually pretty great, despite giving up three earned in his six innings. He struck out six, gave up just five hits (a couple solo homers, one of which was a cheapy), and walked no one. Advanced stats would say that’s a brilliant start.
But, yeah, the Cubs lost. The offense was almost exclusively limited to one guy …
