What was the score of the Chicago Cubs game last night?

The Chicago Cubs had the day off on Thursday and it came at an important time for the team. The Cubs were swept by the Houston Astros earlier this week with their loss on Wednesday being of the devastating variety. In the Cubs' game on Wednesday, the team had a 6-1 lead entering the eighth inning and that is when the game fell off the rails for the team and they wound up losing 7-6. The Cubs have now lost five consecutive games and this is the type of losing streak that the team was hoping to avoid when going about their roster construction this past offseason.

Probable Starting Pitchers

Marcus Stroman gets the start for the Chicago Cubs on Friday night against the Philadelphia Phillies at Citizens Bank Park in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. For the first time this season, Stroman was ineffective in his last start for the Cubs. Against the Minnesota Twins last weekend, Stroman allowed 6 runs in 2.2 innings pitched.

Making the start for the Philadelphia Phillies on Friday night is left-hander Ranger Suarez. After suffering an injury during the World Baseball Classic, Suarez made his first start of the season for the Phillies last weekend. Suarez allowed 3 runs in 4 innings pitched while striking out 4.
