Cubs Lose Third Straight

Pirates 12, Cubs 6  (23-15)

The Cubs suffered their third straight defeat for the time this season as the Pirates once again racked up the hits on Cubs pitching.  Don Lundgren was hit hard in his start and he yielded seven of the runs on nine hits but Three Finger Brown and Ed Reulbach were also touched up for runs in relief.

Johnny Evers had a big day at the plate in the loss.  He went four for five with a triple and two runs.  Del Howard went two for four with a double and a run.

The Cubs would have a day off then they’d begin a road trip that would last them almost three weeks.  It was too bad they couldn’t leave town on a winning note.
