The Cubs have already shown an ability to bounce back from tough losses, but yesterday wasn’t nearly the same as other contests that saw them snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They were absolutely boatraced in a laugher that you can’t even begin to take seriously, so you do what Joe Maddon always talked about and you throw it in the trash. Even so, the series is on the line tonight in Boston.
Jordan Wicks was initially scheduled to take this start, but he was scratched due to left forearm tightness and will be replaced by Hayden Wesneski.
